Not military time exclusively as the 24 hour clock was introduced for railway timetables. From Wikipedia:
The Canadian Pacific Railway was among the first organisations to adopt the 24-hour clock, at midsummer 1886.A report by a government committee in the United Kingdom noted Italy as the first country among those mentioned to adopt 24-hour time nationally, in 1893. Other European countries followed: France adopted it in 1912 (the French army in 1909), followed by Denmark (1916), and Greece (1917). By 1920, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Switzerland had switched, followed by Turkey (1925), and Germany (1927). By the early 1920s, many countries in Latin America had also adopted the 24-hour clock.

@kmortensen9312 Wrong. The Confederate states seceded because their economy was based on slavery hence the needed to preserve the institution. Nothing to do with taxation or tariffs that is a smoke screen. There are many prominent Southern politicians on record before the war saying that that slavery must be maintained. You obviously don't know your history & have been misled by pro-Confederacy bias.
Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America, stated that slavery was established by decree of Almighty God and was sanctioned in the Bible.
Alexander Stephens, the Vice President of the Confederate States of America, explicitly stated that the existence of African slavery was the immediate cause of the Civil War.
"The new [Confederate] constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution — African slavery as it exists amongst us — the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution . . . The prevailing ideas entertained by . . . most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old constitution, were that the enslavement of the African was violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically. . . Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of . . . the equality of races. This was an error . . .
Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner–stone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition.
— Alexander H. Stephens, March 21, 1861, reported in the Savannah Republican, "
