Union and Confederate uniforms were similar in that both featured wool fabrics and were designed for military use, but they differed significantly in color and style. Union soldiers typically wore blue uniforms, while Confederate soldiers wore gray, which was often made from a variety of fabrics due to supply issues. In terms of weapons, both sides primarily used rifled muskets, such as the Springfield Model 1861 for the Union and the Enfield rifle for the Confederates, but the Confederacy sometimes relied on older weaponry due to resource shortages. Additionally, the Union had better access to standardized manufacturing, leading to more uniformity in their equipment.
