[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 372210, member: 57"]During the Civil War the Confederate soldiers wore gray uniforms and Union soldiers wore navy blue uniforms (for as long as those uniforms lasted in the heat of battle). Here is a small portion of the poem "The Blue and the Gray": [B]The Blue And The Gray Francis Miles Finch (1827-1907)[/B] [B]By the flow of the inland river, Whence the fleets of iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver, Asleep are the ranks of the dead: Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment-day; Under the one, the Blue, Under the other, the Gray These in the robings of glory, Those in the gloom of defeat, All with the battle-blood gory, In the dusk of eternity meet: Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgement-day Under the laurel, the Blue, Under the willow, the Gray. . . .
