This article covers military uniforms during the American Civil War (1861–1865).
During the years 1860–1865 there were three distinct types of uniform in use by the United States Armed Forces. Styles used were traditional similar to those used in the Napoleonic Wars, a regimental dress such as used during the American Revolutionary War and a specialist dress similar to those worn by Lancers and Hussars or an ethnic dress such as kilts.[1] With shortages in 1861 the federal government issued a regulation pattern uniform for all state regiments.[2]
