It is not about the civil war, the war of independence, either world wars or the Napoleonic wars.
The American Civil war, which is what I presume people are meaning by just saying the Civil war did not involve Russians.
The war of independence didn't either as far as I know, however it could have due to the fact Russians did land and colonize parts of America.
Also for both of the above, Iron Maiden a British band are more likely to sing about a war more relevant to their country. The British don't care much for the war of independence.
World war 1 there was use of horses in the artillery but not use of muskets, so that rules that one out.
The Napoleonic wars are a good guess however it is more likely to be the Crimean war between The Russian Empire at the time and the British Empire, French Empire, Ottoman empire and the kingdom of Sardinia. It is in fact the battle of balaclava, if you read the poem The Charge of the Light Brigade it will be more clear.
