I strongly believe the special forces would win. Why couldn't they just use stealth? Set up miles away and snipe the shit out of people. Remember the civil war fighters WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. They would just see their general's head explode.
There were snipers back during the days of the civil war FYI...
Coordinated sniping could take out all the senior and much of the field leadership in a matter of minutes, and then all the rank & file would be completely demoralized and directionless.
From there, they could use nightvision to pick people off during the night...
Generals and field commanders were killed during the civil war, but those units would still be able to function, they simply would not be able to coordinate. In addition, a civil war army has a further effective range from their cannon based artillery.
