By the time of the American Civil War; artillery had become a deadly arm on the field of battle; used in huge numbers by both Union and Confederate armies. Some pieces were still old-fashioned muzzle-loading smoothbores similar to those fielded to such great effect during the Napoleonic wars. However; many more were superbly accurate rifled pieces capable of propelling shrapnel shells to 2;000 yards and more. If hard-pressed; guns could use canister at deadly close range to sweep away attacking troops.
