@Opinión It's actually a mix of French and Austrian influences believe it or not. For example his Kepi is of French origins while his sleave braid is Austrian. As a matter of fact the "Austrian Knot" as it was called was actually quite popular at the time among the Germans, Austrians, Canadians, Brittish, etc. This uniform you see here at 7:38 is actually an American copy of the French Zouave uniform.
I would guess that early on a lot of the confederate officers were from upper class families whose sons got sent to military school. When the war started they could probably afford to have custom tailored uniforms made for themselves.
Absolutely amazing impressions. Though I’m not sure why that Federal cavalrymen has a Spencer Repeating Carbine in 1862. He should still have a single shot carbine, like the Burnside, Maynard, Gallagher, Starr, or Sharps.
it was probably a prototype Spencer that he was using, in my opinion are probably a few prototypes of the Spencer repeating rifle available in 1862 so this guy was probably one of the few who was lucky enough to use one of these
Excellent video for your volume 3. As the timeline progresses, I do hope that you will include Confederate uniforms that were not just butternut wool. I reenact with the 20th South Carolina (Kershaw's Brigade) which in the summer of 1864 was fully outfitted with a charcoal gray (looks almost black) shell jackets. This charcoal gray was imported thru the blockade from English mills. Thanks for all y'all do! Cheers.
Kris Wustrow it’s referred to as ‘English army cloth.’ It’s a gray (almost blue) wool. A very high quality and robust fabric for uniform construction. Most of the ANV was being issued clothing in EAC by the spring of 1864.
@Alejandro Alvarez Who would have thought that a small tribe of the Kabyle mountains of Algeria was going to influence the great western nations ? I know that the word "Zouave" was coined by the French because they couldn't pronounce the real name of this Kabyle tribe whose name I unfortunately forgot (yeah .. the French soldiers weren't there down to do ethnology) and the costume is probably the product of the orientalist thought of some French people of the time, but in the end it was mainly France which made its sumptuous power shine once more. May god bless france and the United States and may he watch tenderly over Rochambeau and Georges Washington. It makes me think of the painting "The Taking of Yorktown" by Auguste Couder.
This is really good. I am from England and want to visit a USA civil war battlefield one day. When I think of the civil war keep thinking of something that happened so long ago think generation was lost but some surviving soldiers lived till 1938 which seems bizarre to me.
Oh please let the New Jersey “Butterfly” Hussars be in Volume 4 of this series. They are such a nice looking uniform. Even the other regiments called them “Pretty” because of how nice they looked.
Do the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry with their Colt 1855 Revolver Rifles. They were abandoned during the retreat at the Battle of Chickamauga and held their ground incidentally allowing their fellow soldiers time to get away. Absolutely brutal piece of history with an interesting weapon to boot.
The Confederate Marines amaze me. Our company (24th Mississippi Infantry Company A) went to a big re-enactment at Beauvoir (Jefferson Davis’ last home in Biloxi, MS) and there was a company of Confederate Marines there dressed in similar uniforms as the US Marines.
The cape that's supposed to shield the back of your neck from the sun actually traps the heat, so they basically do they opposite of what they're supposed to. Rubberized covers for rain protection did continue to be popular throughout the war though.
I know this is a quibble relatively speaking, but I miss not seeing toothbrushes in button holes. Otherwise this is an excellent series. I do actually like how names aren't being used for the various portrayals. Not like we can't recognize them anyway.
The Blue And The Gray Francis Miles Finch (1827-1907) By the flow of the inland river, Whence the fleets of iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver, Asleep are the ranks of the dead: Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment-day; Under the one, the Blue, Under the other, the Gray **These in the robings of glory, Those in the gloom of defeat, All with the battle-blood gory, In the dusk of eternity meet: Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgement-day Under the laurel, the Blue, Under the willow, the Gray. From the silence of sorrowful hours The desolate mourners go, Lovingly laden with flowers Alike for the friend and the foe; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgement-day; Under the roses, the Blue, Under the lilies, the Gray. So with an equal splendor, The morning sun-rays fall, With a touch impartially tender, On the blossoms blooming for all: Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment-day; Broidered with gold, the Blue, Mellowed with gold, the Gray. So, when the summer calleth, On forest and field of grain, With an equal murmur falleth The cooling drip of the rain: Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment -day, Wet with the rain, the Blue Wet with the rain, the Gray. Sadly, but not with upbraiding, The generous deed was done, In the storm of the years that are fading No braver battle was won: Under the sod adn the dew, Waiting the judgment-day; Under the blossoms, the Blue, Under the garlands, the Gray No more shall the war cry sever, Or the winding rivers be red; They banish our anger forever When they laurel the graves of our dead! Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment-day, Love and tears for the Blue, Tears and love for the Gray.
Great video!...need more like this..maybe displays of different caps (kepis & forage caps,etc)different videos of civil war field equipment...and you should film them in the same type format with the same type music
Another minor quibble; the “Confederate Army Commander” is just Robert E. Lee’s uniform. So far as I know, there was no standardized Confederate General’s uniform beyond Brigadier-General, as that was intended to be the highest rank in the Confederate Army. Lee, as it happens, wore a Colonel’s insignia, not a General’s. So that makes its selection as a “Confederate Army Commander” uniform extra misleading :p
Civil war nuts should check out this computer game called 'War of Rights'. People who really love and respect the history have made something pretty neat. Recreated actual battlegrounds with 150 player games. Lot of these uniforms,s and regiments are in the game. Its honestly pretty darn cool
Overall nicely done, but there's a significant error in the impression of a Union general in 1862. He would not have worn the revolver and the saber both on the left side. The revolver holster looks left-handed because it was worn on the right side with the butt forward. It's not actually intended to be worn on the left side.
Not only that, his shoulder straps indicate the rank of Brigadier General but the button pattern on his frock coat is that of a Major General. That said, I still love this video as well as the other three.
i must say i enjoy the 72nd PVI impression. the watered down zouave uniform is on point no vest, couldn't see if the trousers were regular trousers without red strips, and no gaiters, least not that i could see. the shelter half roll is a nice personal choice touch. that is most likely how they would have looked by the time of Gettysburg
Do you know why the 72nd solider is holding a confederate flag in that section? Is it trying to be shown as a trophy or captured colors. Is that something the 72nd did in Gettysburg that they were famous for capturing or is that a regiment flag that just looks similar.
the US Army general has brigadier general shoulder boards but his buttons are in groups of three instead of two as a brigadier general would have. also like with volume 1, you have a volunteer cavalry from 1862 armed with a Spencer carbine. Spencer carbines weren't made until late 1863, and most likely wouldn't have been used until 1864. the 5th Michigan Calvary and 2 companies of the 6th Michigan Calvary had Spencer rifles at Gettysburg.
I was not aware the sharpshooter uniforms were so dark. I thought they were a lighter shade of green. But they look great anyways with the brown leather.
Wow! I learned a lot from this video! I feel like I am amongst some intelligent people here ~!!! I even took a civil war trip to Lookout Mountain Chattanooga years ago
3:58 I, regrettably must point out a minor error on your Union Army General. The shoulder straps he is wearing indicate he is a Brigadier General. However, the button pattern on the jacket is for a Major General.
I read that the Pope Pious lX called in his letters Jefferson David "Mr. President of the CSA", unique case of a recognization in Europe. More the CSA generals Longstreet and Beauregards were catholics and Also a lot of southerns, mainly of irish descent. After the war, on the other side, catholics were persecuted, Lynched and discriminated. Why?
I enjoyed the video very much and I don’t want to sound critical. However, I must ask where you came up with the number of 2.75 million soldiers who fought and DIED while wearing these uniforms. I assume you mean the TOTAL number of soldiers who wore the uniforms. The actual number who DIED during the Civil War is estimated to be between 600,000 and 700,000 souls. Your wording can be interpreted to mean that 2.75 million soldiers actually died.

The Blue And The Gray
Francis Miles Finch (1827-1907)
By the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;
Under the one, the Blue,
Under the other, the Gray
**These in the robings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the battle-blood gory,
In the dusk of eternity meet:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgement-day
Under the laurel, the Blue,
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgement-day;
Under the roses, the Blue,
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So with an equal splendor,
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;
Broidered with gold, the Blue,
Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
So, when the summer calleth,
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment -day,
Wet with the rain, the Blue
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done,
In the storm of the years that are fading
No braver battle was won:
Under the sod adn the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;
Under the blossoms, the Blue,
Under the garlands, the Gray
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day,
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.
Beautiful
