Rifle Scope


Which side of the civil war used the rifle scope? What was their advantage from using the rifle scope?

I need to look or who invented the rifle scope and it's history but I can't find it anywhere on the Internet. I also spent many hours searching for it but none mentioned about which side of the Civil War, the Union or Confederate, of who used the rifle scope first and it's advantage against the other side. Please help me on this! Thank You!

Both sides used rifles equipped with telescopic sights.

Yes, I know most of the 1st & 2nd were issued/used the Sharps. The Berdan units were famous for their shooting ability**, and some men were issued scoped rifles.

**it seems like, if memory serves, that to get in the Berdan regiments you had to shoot 10 for 10 on a 10in circle at 300 yards.

Perhaps the most famous incident during the Civil War occured at the battle of Spotsylvania. Union General John Sedgwick(on horseback) was inspecting his lines. When told that it wasn't a good idea to ride in open sight of the Confederates. Sedgwick said "They could not hit an Elephant at this dist...." Sedgwick fell dead, shot from his horse. >Killed at an estimated 800 yards by Sgt Grace of the 4th Georgia Infantry. Because of Sedgwick's death the Union attack was delayed, giving Lee the time he needed to win the battle
