Zouaves were north African troops who fought all throughout the civil war.

NEW RESPONDENT

During the early years of Civil War, many regiments of zouaves were organized, both in some Confederate and Union States, like Louisiana and New York. Their uniforms were similar to those of the French Army, but no north African element was part of them.. Their rank and files were exclusively put together by American volunteers.
