The Model 1861 Springfield was used heavily by the Union Army throughout the Civil War, just behind the Enfield and US Model 1842, it was also the 3rd most common weapon used to arm the Confederacy.
		+
		+	The Model 1861 and subsequent M1863 were the last percussion arms designed and issued to the United States Army. The M1861 and it's simple variation in the form of the M1863 was a logical step from the M1855 series arms. Among the finest long arms in the world when it was introduced it was rivaled in accuracy only by the 1853 Enfield and it surpassed that venerable arm in reliability and quality of manufacture.
		+
		+	Simple sites and surprising accuracy along with unheard of dependability created a weapon rarely rivaled and at all times preferred to its contemporaries. The .58 caliber Minnie ball combined with a 1 in 78" twist gave the reason for the astounding accuracy. This was the American military arm that took the Minnie bullet to its natural conclusion. The M1861 was astoundingly accurate to better than four hundred yards. At 56" overall length it was still a long weapon but no more so than any contemporary. The one piece American walnut stock and spring retained barrel bands gave a robustness that would become legendary and a fixture in later American arms. The well made interchangeable parts made it the realization of a dream for ordnance men. It was a simple and inexpensive arm that influenced small arms development well into the 20th century.
		+
		+	More than a dozen contractors to include famous arsenals such as Savage Arms as well as the Federal Arsenal at Springfield manufactured well in excess of one million M1861 and M1863 arms. It was the most common small arm carried by the Union soldier and came to represent the arms of the US Army. The M1861/1863 armed the Union Army on all fronts; this excellent small arm saw service on every battlefield from 1862 onward. It was justifiably a favorite arm of those that carried it and when captured it was quickly put into Confederate service.

USS ''Nahant'' was launched 7 October 1862 by Harrison Loring, South Boston, Massachusetts, and commissioned 29 December 1862, Commander John Downes in command.

The new single turreted monitor joined the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron at Port Royal Harbor, South Carolina on 20 February 1863 and saw her first action in the Union bombardment of Fort McAllister on 3 March. A little over a month later, she participated in Rear Admiral [[Samuel Du Pont]]’s valiant but ill-fated attack on Charleston. The ironclads crossed Stono Bar and entered Charleston Harbor 6 April, but a heavy fog stopped their advance lest they run aground attempting to negotiate the tricky channels leading to the vital Confederate port. Though dawn broke clear the next morning, an ebb tide kept the warships from getting underway until noon. Shortly after 3 o’clock, [[USS Weehawken|''Weehawken’s'']] guns opened on Fort Sumter and through the afternoon Du Pont’s ships stubbornly hammered at Confederate batteries while withstanding the intense and accurate converging fire of the Southern cannon.

With darkness approaching and his ironclads severely battered, Du Pont broke off the action, determined to return to the fray at daybreak. However, that night reports from his captains of the serious damage suffered by their ships convinced the Admiral that the small chance of success of another attack did not justify the great risk to his squadron.

In the fighting ''Nahant'' had been hit 36 times disabling her turret and breaking off a large piece of iron inside her pilot house killing her helmsman and wounding her pilot. The next day with her sister monitors, she retired to Port Royal for repairs.

On 10 June, after intelligence reports indicated that the Confederate ironclad [[C.S.S. Atlanta|''Atlanta'']] was preparing to attack wooden blockader ''Cimarron'', Du Pont ordered ''Weehawken'' and ''Nahant'' to Wassaw Sound, Georgia to await the powerful ram. Shortly before dawn, a week later, ''Atlanta'', accompanied by stern wheel gunboat ''Isondiga'' and ram ''Resolute'', steamed down the Wassaw River and entered Wassaw Sound to attack the monitors. The Confederate flagship carried a torpedo projecting from her bow, hoping to explode it against one of the monitors before dispatching the other with her guns.

Seeing the Southern ships approach, ''Weehawken'' and ''Nahant'' headed in to accept the challenge. As the adversaries closed to fighting range, ''Atlanta'' was first to fire, but soon ran aground where she could not aim her guns effectively. The monitors held their fire until within 200 yards. ''Weehawken'' then quickly put five rounds from her heavy guns into the ram. With two of his guns out of action, two of his three pilots severly wounded, and his ship hard aground, Commander William A. Webb, C.S.N., was compelled to surrender Atlanta while her escorts scurried to safety. ''Atlanta'' was subsequently purchased from a prize court by the Federal Government and commissioned in the Union Navy.

Early in July, after he had taken command of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, Rear Admiral [[John A. Dahlgren]] ordered the monitors back to Charleston harbor. ''Nahant'' and her sisters bombarded Confederate works on Morris Island on 10 July, supporting and covering the landing of Army troops. For almost two months, the shelling continued until the steadfast defenders were finally compelled to abandon Battery Wagner, their last position on the island, 6 September.

In ensuing months ''Nahant'' continued operations in the vicinity of Charleston, patrolling, enforcing the blockade, and bombarding Confederate positions ashore. On 15 November she joined Lehigh in supporting the Union Army at Cumming’s Point on Morris during a heavy evening bombardment from Fort Moultrie. The next day, despite heavy shelling from shore batteries, she helped refloat ''Lehigh'' after her sister monitor had run aground.

On 2 February 1865, ''Nahant'' joined ''Lehigh'' and ''Passaic'' in shelling ''Presto'' after the blockade runner had run ashore under the batteries of Fort Moultrie. After three days of shelling, the hulk was completely destroyed.

''Nahant'' decommissioned at Philadelphia 11 August 1865. While laid up, she was renamed ''Atlas'' on 15 June 1869, but resumed the name ''Nahant'' on 10 August. The veteran monitor recommissioned at League Island 12 April 1898 and steamed to New York for Harbor defense during the Spanish American War. ''Nahant'' decommissioned at League Island and was laid up there until sold 6 April 1904 to L. E. Hunt, Melrose, Mass.

'''USS ''Keokuk''''' was one of the first three ironclads authorized for construction by the Union during the American Civil War. A relatively-weak vessel, she would sink after receiving battle damage in South Carolina after nearly two months of service.

==History==
Laid down as ''Moodna'', the first ship in the [[United States Navy]] named ''Keokuk'' - named after a Sauk Indian chief who opposed the Black Hawk War - was launched at New York by Charles W. Whitney 6 December 1862; sponsored by Mrs. C. W. Whitney, wife of the builder; and commissioned March 1863; Commodore Alexander C. Rhind in command.

The experimental ironclad steamer embodied some unusual concepts: her two stationary, cylindrical gun towers, each pierced with three gun ports, which often caused her to be mistaken for a double-turreted monitor; and her armor of horizontal iron bars alternating with strips of wood.

The new ironclad departed New York 11 March and steamed south to join the [[South Atlantic Blockading Squadron]] for the attack on Charleston and arrived Newport News 2 days later. She got underway again on the 17th but returned to Hampton Roads for repairs when her port propeller fouled a buoy. She stood out of Hampton Roads again 22 March and arrived Port Royal, South Carolina, the 26th.

As the day of attack on Charleston approached, ''Keokuk'' and ''Bibb'' were busy laying buoys to guide Rear Admiral [[Samuel Du Pont]]'s ironclad flotilla into the strongly fortified Confederate harbor. The Union ships crossed the Stono Bar 6 April but were prevented from attacking that day by hazy weather which obscured targets and blinded pilots.

The advance began at noon on the 7th, but difficulties in clearing torpedoes from the path of Du Pont's ironclads slowed their progress. Shortly after three, they came within range of Forts Moultrie and Sumter; and the battle began. Southern obstruction and a strong flood tide made the ironclad virtually unmanageable, while accurate fire from the forts played upon them at will. With the Union formation scrambled, ''Keokuk'' was compelled to run ahead of crippled ''Nahant'' to avoid fouling her in the narrow channel. This brought her less than 600 yards from Fort Sumter, where she remained for half an hour receiving the "undivided attention" of the Confederate guns.

The game ironclad was riddled by 90 hits, one-fifth of which pierced her at or below the waterline. She was withdrawn from the action and anchored overnight beyond range of the forts while her crew struggled to keep her afloat. Next day, 8 April, when a breeze came up, ''Keokuk'' took on more water; filled rapidly; and sank off Morris Island. Both of her guns were immediately salvaged by Confederates and placed within defensive batteries in Charleston Harbor.

''New Ironsides's'' broadside battery of eight heavy guns on each side, coupled with her iron protection, made her a uniquely valuable ship for bombardment purposes. Although fitted with a steam engine and single-shaft propeller which generated 700 horsepower at eight knots speed, ''New Ironsides'' was fitted with a sail rig, which was removed and stowed while the ship was engaged in hostile action.	+	The last, and largest, of the initial group of three "salt-water" armored warships (the others were [[USS Keokuk\|''Keokuk'']] and [[USS Monitor\|''Monitor'']]) begun in 1861 in response to meet the needs of the Civil War, ''New Ironsides'' was launched 10 May 1862 after consruction by Merrick & Sons of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and commissioned at Philadelphia Navy Yard 21 August 1862, Captain Thomas Turner, in command.
