One of those was never a US Army uniform. In fact it was the uniform of an enemy of the USA.

If you are thinking of Confederate gray, then you are mistaken. Not only did some Northern units wear gray, but some Southern units wore blue. And on both sides there was a lot of everything else, also.

Interesting. One of my favorite eras for military history would be the Enlightenment era. I was a bit disappointed on how they displayed the Continental regular.

Very excellent, yet I wonder if a few were left out as some conflicts werent listed. The war against the Spanish being one. It would have been nice to see a few other units being honored too, like armored...ect

I once saw a gun collection that included every main battle rifle ever issued to any army in all History. OMG I didnt want to leave the place. :lol

Up until after WWII all of our uniforms looked an awful lot like someone elses. Our uniforms until the 1820s tended to look like the Brits with colors changed, from the 1820s to the 1850s they looked like Prussians (even in the same blue), from the 1850s to the 1870s they looked French, from the 1870s to the late 1890s tthey looked Prussian again (complete with the Pickelhaube), and from around 1900 until just before WWII they look like Brit uniforms again, complete with the Sam Browne belt. It's not until after WWII that other nations started copying US uniforms and equipment, and not the other way around.

That's true but that's not the same thing as saying the CS army uniform was the US Army uniform, which is not correct.
