I don't know what the first contact with the Civil War was. It might have been
this set of cards that came with 'real Confederate currency'. They usually showed a colourful though often very violent scene, though not as lurid as the WW2 set that was also around. I still have a few of these cards knocking about - don't know what happened to the notes though.
The whole set is posted somewhere on line. I'll try yo find them. I had them and I remember the gore.
