Best Answer

In the Civil War, people not involved in the military continued wearing the same clothing they wore before the war started. The northern solders wore uniforms died blue. However, some Zouave or National Guard units dressed in red or black uniforms. The Confederate solders started off with gray uniforms. As the war went on, they had more difficulty getting replacement uniforms. When their uniforms wore out, they wore anything they could get. When their shoes wore out and they could not find replacement shoes, they wrapped their feet in rags. Toward the end, both sides wore uniforms the color of dirt.
