What weapons or items did the Confederate soldiers carry during the Civil War?

The average Confederate soldier was issued leathers which consisted of a cartridge box (used to hold rounds), cap pouch (used to hold musket percussion caps), and a bayonet sheath (used to hold bayonet) along with a leather belt which held the cap pouch, bayonet sheath and sometimes the cartridge box when a cartridge box strap was not issued or thrown away by the soldier. They were also issued a haversack (made of cotton or canvas) used to carry their rations and a canteen (made of wood or tin) to drink from. For camping, a wool blanket, ground cloth (a piece of "tarred" canvas) and a shelter half (made of canvas) was issued and carried in an issued knapsack (made of canvas) or rolled up into a "mule collar" and worn slung over the left shoulder. This varied of course from soldier to soldier since each state/depot issued different items and styles of equipment. The types of muskets and rifles that were issued to Confederates were numerous and varied in quality, the most common being either a prewar smooth bore ('42 Springfield, flintlock conversion, etc.) or a rifled musket ['53 Enfield, '55/'61/'63 Springfield (US made), CS Richmond, etc.]. Union equipment was utilized as well after Confederate equipment became to tattered to use and broken supply lines made it impossible to resupply the soldiers.


What preliminary coating is applied to a canvas before paint?
