During the American Civil War the Union infantry held their weight in the most famous battles (Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg) but still suffered a very high number of losses. The uniform was characterized by the typical blue jacket. The officers often wore a tailor-made longer coat (redingote). Many infantry units adopted uniforms similar to those of the French Zouaves, who became famous during the campaigns in Crimea and Italy, with dark blue tunics decorated in red and white spats and the typical large red trousers. The uniform was completed with the red fez with tassel.
