Did the Union or Confederate armies use a rocket battery similar to the Congreave rocket system?
Wellington had used rockets in his Peninsula campaigns all though he was not a fan of the system. And they were used in the American war of 1812 by the British against Fort McHenry ( hence “the rockets red glare” of the Star Spangled Banner).
Did American forces later go on to adopt a rocket artillery system for use in the civil war?
Yes, apparently rockets were used in the Mexican conflict in 1847 and again in the American Civil War. Wellington had been on the receiving end fighting against the Tippoo Sultan, Congreve developed his from these, however Hale and Boxer seem to have influenced the later designs more than Congreve.
