What is the difference in a civil war bullet from the confederacy and the union?

Even though both sides used the same rifles, their bullets were slightly different in how they were made. The muzzle-loading rifles used a Minie ball that was a conical bullet with a hollow base. The outside of the base had rings molded into them by the bullet mold.
In general the difference was the number of grooves at the base: 2 or 3. I forget which side had which number: believe the Confederate used the 2 grooves. Also, some of the Confederate bullets were made very crudely and some have been found that were more blunt with no grooves at all.

What happened between NC and the Confederacy?
North Carolina vs. the Confederacy! The Confederacy was trying to North Carolina (NC) to stay with the Confederacy. The Union was nicest to NC so, the Confederacy could lose one of it's states or possibly see if NC could help make the Confederacy give up and let the Union win! At the end of the Civil War, the Union wins anyway!!! The Civil war lasted for six years (1860-1865). NC is still with the Confederacy after the Civil War is done with.
