Quaker Guns: black-painted logs made to resemble large canons to make the enemy believe a fort was heavily guarded. It is understandable that Confederates had to resort to this tactic more often because of their lesser amount of factories and supplies.

That’s not a gun, it’s a log painted black. Both sides in the Civil War used “Quaker guns” to frighten the enemy in order to buy time. “We were confronted by a mammoth gun that threatened to blow the Union clear over the north pole,” remembered one Indiana volunteer in 1894. “The mammoth gun proved afterward to be a log that had been mounted and painted to resemble a columbiad.” (Futility Closet)
