At the time of the American Civil War the U.S. Army classified its artillery into varied types depending on the guns weight and intended use. Field artillery were light pieces that often traveled with the armies. Siege and garrison artillery were heavy pieces that could be used either in attacking or defending fortified places. Seacoast artillery were the heaviest pieces and were intended to be used in permanent fortifications along the seaboard. The siege trains of the Civil War consisted almost exclusively of guns and mortars. Guns fired projectiles on horizontal trajectory and could batter heavy construction with solid shot or shell at long or short range destroy fort parapets and dismount cannon. Mortars fired shells in a high arcing trajectory to reach targets behind obstructions destroying construction and personnel. ;
