Small Arms of the Civil War
1861 to 1865
The Civil War was the greatest conflict the United States of America ever dealt
with, with approximately 600,000 Americans losing their lives during this conflict
it was the highest price ever paid by the U.S. in any war. The Civil War
literally had brother fighting brother and friend fighting friend. While some
believe the war was just about the freeing of slaves if you talked to most
southerners you will learn it was about stopping the attack of their home state
by the aggressor Northern States or Federal Government. The Confederate States
truly believed that the U.S. Constitution gave them the right to succeed from
the Union at anytime. On the following pages you will find images of the side
arms that served in the great conflict and supporting information I have
gathered through research and correspondence with other collectors. If you
are a student of the Civil War and its side arms or if you have a family
heirloom that was used in the war please feel free to contact me with a email at
