It is a popular misconception that the American Civil War was fought between Union and Confederate armies uniformed in dull blue and drab grey respectively. In fact, both armies included exotically-named corps dressed in a variety of European styles whose gorgeous uniforms compared more than favorably with the most ornate of Napoleonic France - Zouaves and Chasseurs, Hussars and Highlanders, Lancers, Bersaglieri and Riflemen.
