    Given that both parts of what used to be the United States had fought
two wars against the British, it is extremely unlikely that they would have
emulated the British Army.  One example of this I noticed as I was leafing
through a book on Civil war equipment and just about the one colour not used
in a uniform coat was red.

Wasn't there also a New York regiment that was made up of firefighters that
also wore red?
