Historical Background
provided by (historynet.com) https://www.historynet.com/12-pounder-napoleon-a-french-cannon-in-the-civil-service.htm
In 1857 the U.S. Army adapted the cannon as the light 12-pounder M1857. When the Civil War broke out, the gun’s simplicity enabled the Confederates to replicate it, making the Napoléon virtually a universal artillery piece, with captured cannon easily pressed into service by either side. Wartime foundries produced some 1,100 Napoléons in the North and 600 in the South.
