A soldier in grey during the American Civil War typically referred to a Confederate soldier, as the Confederate Army's uniforms were primarily grey in color. This choice of color was partly due to the availability of fabric and the desire to create a distinct identity from the Union soldiers, who often wore blue. The term symbolizes the Southern troops who fought for the Confederacy from 1861 to 1865 in their quest for states' rights and to maintain the institution of slavery.
