The distinctive "teddy bear" was created in honor of Teddy Roosevelt, decades later, however toy wooden bears were common items even before the Civil War.

Stuffed bear toys started showing up in catalogs as early as 1894, long before Teddy Roosevelt was associated with them.

Seeing exposed bullets in a pistol's chambers is normal for the American Civil War era.
