Uniforms and Accoutrements

Military uniforms had many changes as it evolved through the years. During the Civil War the strongest foreign influence on Union Army apparel was exerted by France, due to their reputation for military excellence and high style. After the Civil War Dress uniforms followed the elaborate Prussian style uniform through the Victorian era. Field uniforms, because of the climate and environmental conditions in the different areas across the U.S., changed partially through the solicitation of comments and suggestions from the soldiers.
