We know this because the real-world American Civil War, which began on April 12th, 1861 AD and ended on May 26th, 1865 AD, is currently ongoing during the story so it must be after April of 1861 AD and before May of 1865 AD.
More specifically, as the next issue "The Kents" #6 (1997) takes place squarely in August of 1863 AD and the story does move from #5 to #6 sequentially, therefore this comic's plot happens before August of 1863 AD.
So it must be sometime from April of 1861 AD to August of 1863 AD. It could take place in 1861 AD, 1862 AD, or 1863 AD.
