Civil War Sword

My G-G-Grandfather, Warren Fletcher Harrison, was a private in Company E, 32nd Alabama Infantry. There is a sword that was his that has been handed down through the family. I'm curious as to if privates carried swords in battle or if maybe it was captured or a gift from an officer. I don't want to take away from the legacy of the sword but I'm just curious. Thanks to anyone who can help.
