Hello mister,

MCMME> Well,  first  off,  in  America  we  call it either "The War of
MCMME> Northern    Aggression"    or   "The   War   to   Curb   Yankee
MCMME> Arrogance.":-):-):-):-)

Ha... ha... ha...

;P

MCMME> But  seriously,  both  sides went through a period early in The
MCMME> War  where  soldiers were issued whatever weapons could be had,
MCMME> and  at  battles like First Manassas troops had everything from
MCMME> "modern"  Model  1855  rifled  muskets  to smoothbore flintlock
MCMME> muskets from the Age of Napoleon.
