What did Americans wear during the civil war wear?
The answer to this question depends on several factors including what unit they were in, where they were from, where they were at, and what year of the war it was. The simplest answer would be that most Union volunteers wore uniforms consisting of dark blue kersey wool jackets and sky blue kersey wool trousers. Confederate soldiers wore a vast array of different color wool and jean wool uniforms ranging from light grey to dark brown and everything in between. The Union went with standardized uniform sizes, presewn instead of tailored, and "uniformity", and it saved time and expenses, even if the fits weren't always great. (It was a first try.) "Ladder badges" sometimes identified units on Union uniforms. The South went with privately-sewn and tailored uniforms, and variations were plenty. Equipment from unit to unit varied too but, simply put, every soldier carried a cartidge box (to hold their rounds), cap box (to hold their percussion caps), bayonet w/ sheath, and a belt to hold all of it on. A haversack was carried to hold the soldiers food as well as a canteen for the soldier to drink from. A knapsack carried the rest of the soldiers equipment including blanket, gum blanket, and any extra rounds, clothing, and/or personal items they might happen to have.
