Question

COMMODOREII · Accepted Answer

"In an era long before chemical or hormonal contraceptive technology, Civil War-era Americans used the same methods known for centuries throughout the early modern world to prevent pregnancy. These, of course, included the ancient methods of coitus interruptus—or withdrawal, and the rhythm method. But there was also an active nineteenth-century market for birth control devices, including vaginal suppositories or pessaries (which physically blocked the cervix), syringes sold with acidic solutions for douching, and antiseptic spermicides. Condoms were also relatively popular, especially after mid-century when new techniques made it easier to manufacture rubber and their price dropped significantly."

Madhatter920 · Answer

They used condoms. Condoms have been in use to prevent pregnancies since the 1,000 B. C., though they were mostly used to prevent the spread of disease. They didn't start being used for the purpose of birth control until the 1600s. During the 1800s, condoms were made of rubber and were often cleaned and reused until they fell apart.

What "Birth control", then? They had a lot of kids, because a lot of them died from diseases.

Condoms were actually invented in the 1700s. I forgot the name of the guy who invented them but they made from lamb skin. However, I don't think they were widely known of and people probably stuck to ancient methods like cervical blockers made from various material. Leaves and honey was a popular one.
