Confederate soldiers were called "graybacks" primarily because of their gray uniforms, which were made from a variety of fabrics, often of poor quality. The term also alluded to their often unkempt appearance, as many soldiers were not able to maintain proper hygiene and their clothing could attract lice. The nickname reflected both their uniform color and the hardships faced by the Confederate troops during the Civil War.
