During the American Civil War, the northern uniforms, worn by Union soldiers, were primarily made of wool and featured a dark blue color. The standard uniform consisted of a frock coat, trousers, and a kepi or slouch hat, often adorned with insignia indicating rank. The blue uniforms were designed to provide a sense of unity and distinction from the Confederate forces, who typically wore gray or butternut-colored clothing. The use of blue also symbolized the Union's commitment to preserving the nation.
