The surgeon looks like a Wild West gunslinger

This is a great reminder that a lot of the Confederate uniforms weren't quite grey, but more of a butternut color. Cool!

The brown and butternut colors came from simple home made type dyes. Different parts of the uniform could be different colors.

My great Grand Uncle Benjamin Dean died in 1862 in service to the Union's 16th Wisconsin Regiment H Company. He was 19 years old.

The men really look like they could be from the Civil War, very handsome and authentic I must say.

I hope this is of interest. Most of the cloth for the uniforms of both sides was manufactured in Morley near LEEDS, West Yorkshire, England. Virtually all of the mills that made the cloth no longer exist. Most made way for housing or were turned into apartment blocks. One mill about 200 yards from my home still stands. It is now an auction house and also a martial arts club.

That bushwhacker looked so cool

Would’ve liked to have seen a Cavalry officers uniform. Love seeing those yellow sashes and garish hats.

I've been so excited for this next volume. I admire your attention to detail and preserving one of the most important parts in our nation's history. Thank you.

I had the grand experience of doing "hard core" duty for about six years, (back in the late 90s). What a way to learn this particular part of history. Both the Union and Confederate units in which I served were utterly intolerant of anything not authentic. We made our own uniforms, slept in the open air and marched for six or seven miles per day (easy duty) during some re-enactments. I must say, while on "campaign" I kept asking myself why I do this, because it was intensely miserable. After each event, I'd yearn to do it again. Eventually I made it to the rank of Corporal, so I had a pretty easy life.

My experience in a hard core unit was pretty much the same! When the weather was lousy I'd think "what the hell am I doing out here?" but after the event was over I'd conveniently forget that I ever asked myself that question--glad to hear I'm not the only one! We were active in the hobby at about the same time :-)

i love that grey and black combo the texans had

The guy with roses all over his shirt. Missouri bushwhacker? LOL!

Great series, the 5th NY (Duryees Zouaves) was the unit that was engaged with my great grand uncles’ unit ( 1st Palmetto Rifles) at Gaines Mill in 1862. RIP Isaac Livingstone Grier.

Very fascinating. Not trying to poke fun or anything because I’m a huge civil war buff, but that Missouri Bushwacker uniform looks like something Mr. Furley from Threes Company would have worn. Joking aside, the attention to details on all these uniforms was amazing. I would imagine that with the mishmash of so many styles and colors on both sides, it would have led to much confusion, especially early in the war.

Another wonderful video. It’s total living history. The guys look totally authentic and are absolutely fabulous. I’ve been hooked on the Civil War since the 60s when I collected all the Topps Civil War cards. Unfortunately I’m on the other side of the pond in Britain or I’d love to be a reenactor too. Huge respect for the men who fell. RIP.

I love this !! I would have loved to a North Carolina frock coat. THE OLD NORTH STATE! Maybe in vol 3. Can we please have some more.

Awesome job on these videos! I like seeing the use of Federal buttons on some of the CS shell jackets/frocks--it's been under-represented in the re-enacting community.

I had an unidentified ancestor who fell at Gettysburg for the union,!

Simply amazing.

A very well done series. Please accept my Thank You.

Fashion show for reenactors. I love it!!!

The 'Texas General' is actually wearing Colonel's collar insignia. Robert E. Lee and Jimmy Kemper both preferred the Colonel's insignia. Most Confederate generals wore the standard patch with 2 small stars flanking a larger one circled by a wreath.

And if you do any more can you do a part III can you add a North Carolina Uniform, just for say because North Carolina provided the most men about 1/8 of the Confedrate army.

the best uniform is 79th kilted New York Cameron highlanders, wasnt included in this video

Beautiful!

VERY NICELY SHOT AND SHOWCASED!! In the future for those of us that are not all that versed in war battle gear please consider narration or some sort of additonal visual explanation of what we are seeing. Also, consider slowing down the visual pace of the video. Thank You. Overall, I liked it. I am in awe of what you've done. Thank You for sharing it.

Thank you for showing the uniforms of the two Zouves units and the Iron Brigade, my favs. I was hoping there would be the 1st Louisiana Special Battalion "Wheat's Tigers" or Louisiana Tigers featured as well as I think it is a counterpart to the Union Zouves.

As one of those hardcore reenactors, I can back up what Jason said. We try our absolute hardest to get as correct as possible and it doesn't just stop at our uniforms either. We carry and bring period correct rations and person items as well. We create a persona of somebody in the 1860's and act like we're really from the time. It's a lot of fun and there are literally moments that you think "Wow! So, that's what it must've looked like!" It's an experience you can't get from reading a book or watching a documentary. It's easy to read about it, but to actually act it out, it really gives you a whole different level of understanding!

I'm a Civil War reenactor in Washington State. My impression [portrayal, persona, what have you] is of a Regular Army soldier in the Eastern Theater in the 4th Infantry Reg't, 2nd Div. Vth Corps. Now, out here we didn't have any direct conflict regarding the War. But several of men who became famous served here in the decade prior [Grant and Pickett among others]. We focus not only on visual authenticity, but also *teaching* well. The Civil War can seem rather distant when you're 1200 miles from the nearest battle site, so it's up to us to explain the War to people who don't know how much it actually matters. My personal uniforms include: fatigue 1850, dress 1856, and fatigue 1861 regulation uniforms. It ain't cheap. But we all put forth the effort because history is a perishable skill. And forgetting history is one of the most dangerous things a nation or a society can do to itself.

Great instructional video on the many uniforms worn by both sides. I am struck by the many immigrant units from Europe the Federal Government employed against the Southern American forces to accomplish their invasion of nation-states inhabited by their peaceful neighbors.

I think these are wonderful portrayals, but can't help wonder why the dearth of unis from the Western Theater? The War was won (or lost, for me) in the West. In keeping with this time frame I woulda like to have seen uniforms from Forts Henry and Donelson Campaigns, Pea Ridge, and lets not forget Shiloh. How bout the early stages of the Vicksburg Campaign as well? That said, I really do enjoy these LionHeart Productions. Deo Vindice!

For Forts Henry and Donelson and Shiloh, the 1st Texas infantryman shown in this video would be a good match. He's wearing commutation clothing that predominated in all theaters before the Confederate depot system went into operation.

Are the uniforms and poses based on the coloring book from Peter F. Copeland “Civil War Uniform: Coloring Book”? If not this is exactly what it reminds me of. Bravo! Nice work on this.

Awesome, say wasn't their more units and uniforms too. I know you cover 2 parts of the north and south uniforms. Weren't their more from the other states that join in the war

Will you present the uniform of Gen. Nathaniel Banks and his ridiculous Chapeau?

you should add detailed descriptions, like: this "2" means ist the second Regiment, that is the rank insignia of a corporal, this weapon is a sharps, the canteen is Standard issue that canteen is private purchase etc. some Viewers that are not from the US would also have a hard time knowing wich is a confederate and wich is a Union uniform(as it is not always Grey=confederate and blue is Union) I for example could not identify wich state is part of the confederation and wich is not.(at least not for all states) this would be the case for many history-interested ppl from outside the US, like me.

I want to see the new york Highland regiment

Wikipedia states the 45th New York Volunteer Infantry was formed in 1861. Why are there no uniforms for them shown before 1863?

Sehr interesannt wie viele Uniformen es gab !!!War bestimmt nicht leicht sie alle zu sammen zu stellen

The tx volunteer uniform you show is not correct. Black sleeves and black trim in the uniform is NC. North Carolina uniforms always maintained black trim in some form or fashion through out the conflict. Texas volunteer troops primarily wore what is called butternut (a bright brownish tan) uniforms and we're primarily made from jeancloth (a fabric mixture of wool, cotton and sometimes hemp). However in late 1863 Confederate uniforms often we're often mix matched and many replaced there pants with those of federal dead. As 1863 progressed and uniforms became less available, it was common to see eastern theater troops wearing grey jackets and sky blue trousers. However 1861 upon the first call up for state troops in the Confederacy. Many volunteers wore there fathers and grandfather's uniforms from the revolution and Mexican war. Resulting any many different designs colors in styles. But as production increased for the war effort, this issue was resolved.

Was there much difference in uniforms between Western and Eastern troops?

The 69th New York! Erin go bragh!

Some information please. At 5.55 we have a black (coloured) infantryman wearing the blue of the Union Army but belonging to the 1st South Carolina Volunteers. South Carolina was a Confederate state. Could someone explain the the apparent contradiction.

Yours, Americans history is pretty interesting. But I think about something different: 150 years "gone with the wind" and I still can find the hot differences between Southrners and Yankees in US. Blood did not dried completely... So, it was the conflict with the realy important causes! For me, the slavery do not explain the all circumstance and all of the reasons of this conflict.

A couple of questions. The Zouave uniforms draw from the French do they not? If so, why the French? Secondly, would there be a possiblity of doing a separate uniforms video from predominantly immigrant regiments? Such as the 79th New York?

Why the French? In the early and mid-19th century the French military was the premier fighting force of the world. With imitation being the highest form of flattery a lot of our uniform influences come from French uniform design and style. Much in the same way we began to copy Prussian style at the end of the 1800s and into the very early 20th century.

Damn NY of 1862, you were out there😂

0:38 The 5th NY at 2nd Bull Run: www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/destruction-5th-new-york-zouaves 4:57 They wore that in their caps because their Irish regimental were getting re-made at the time of the battle and they still wanted to be identifiable.
