Fucking stop with this retarded fake history. The CSA army was well supplied and uniformed after the first initial year thanks to several large clothing depots collecting locally produced uniforms and distributing them to the armies, the CSA also imported large quantities of uniforms on contract from Great Britain. The only difference between a Confederate and Union soldier would be that the Yankee had leather and brass while the Confederate often had to make do with wooden buttons or jeans bags.

The thing is that Union spectators often saw Confederate soldiers on the march, often for a while, or as prisoners, in which case their uniforms would have been worn out. That's what happens when you march 12 hours a day for months. Union soldiers in 1863 in the army of the Potomac wrote that their summer uniforms were in tatters after the campaign period, men even going shoeless. The issue back then was that getting uniforms and supplies to the armies was difficult, especially for the Confederacy, often relying on wagons and trains if they were lucky.

Nah, both side were rather even when it came to soldiers. The South just ran out of men first due to most of the population being Negro slaves.
