The largest volcanic eruption anywhere in the world during 1861-1865 was possibly Makian volcano, Indonesia, which latest from 28 dec 1861 to October 1862. That eruption MIGHT have have a VEI (volcano explosivity index) of 4. (The Smithsonian catalog gives a ? to that value.) VEI of 4 means the eruption was LARGE, erupted hundreds of millions of cubic meters of ash.

For comparison, the 1982 eruption of El Chichon, Mexico had a VEI of 5 and Pinatubo, Philippines, eruption of 1991 had a VEI of 6. IN summary, there were no major volcanic eruptions anywhere in the world during the U.S. Civil War that would have produced sufficient ash to effect the atmosphere.

I remember it well. I was 26 at the time. I had been drinking the night before, so I half expected a big eruption, but I think it was the curry that really did it.

the volcano was Tambora (near Java) it erupted in 1815 - but radically effected the following winter (1816) thanks to the dust and particulates it launched into the atmosphere.

WHY are we doing your homework?
Krakatoa erupted in 1883 killing 50+ thousands of people.
