This can be on average, or per shot. But how much gun powder does a Civil War cannon use?

Also if possible, how long do they take to load on average?
This can be any cannon, as long as it was used during the Civil War.

A shot cannon answer would be preferred.

that depends on which cannon... And what shot they are using.

They could use as much as they wanted depending on the distance, and the weight of the cannon-ball. Re-loading was about three minutes. How they judged the elevation is beyound me. The area of destruction was minor to say the least...
