Yes swords were used in the American Civil War (1861-1865) but their role had diminished significantly compared to earlier wars. By the 1860s rifles and artillery were the dominant weapons making the classic cavalry charge with sabers less effective and more suicidal. However swords still served important symbolic and practical functions.

They were primarily carried by officers (as a badge of rank and for signaling troops) cavalry troops (sabers for mounted charges) and artillery crews (short swords like the artillery short sword for close defense of cannons). The most common types were the Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber (nicknamed the "Old Wristbreaker" for its weight) the Model 1850 Army Staff & Field Officer's Sword and various enlisted foot swords. While there were dramatic cavalry clashes with sabers (like at Brandy Station) most casualties were caused by firearms. Swords became more of a backup weapon or tool for discipline. The American Battlefield Trust has good info on Civil War weaponry.
