  The 6-Pounder Field Gun, Model 1841 bronze smoothbore cannon, was used by the United States from 1840's to the 1860's. It was employed in the Mexican War and the Civil War where it was used primarily by the South. The South relied heavily on the 6-Pounder early int he war and particularly in the Army of Tennessee when at times 80 percent or more of the available field artillery consisted of 6-Pounders and 12-Pound Field howitzers.
