Of course, OTL in the American Civil War most of the artillery consisted of either muzzle loading rifles (such as the Ordnance 3") or smoothbores (such as the 12lb Napoleon).

But in the time of the ACW, there were rather more modern guns elsewhere in the world - in particular, at this time the British Army has large numbers of the Armstrong RBL 12 lb 8 cwt.
So... would either side have gained much benefit from using RBL field guns to supplement their RML and SBML guns?
