Not necesarily, a part of the problem of the US civil war was strategy had not evolved much since napoleonic times, generals were still modelling themselves on such men- having one arm in their coat etc etc.

Close order combat was still the norm- the problem was that while strategy and tactics had not evolved the weapons had- meaning that ranges were a lot longer in the ACW. You needed close order to have a chance of hitting anything in napoleonic times. Hence casulaties were much higher.

Combat-wise, Id say you could take the game to about the ACW times- not that much later tho. Of course- politically and map wise, perhaps not.
