Divisas del Ejército (Guerra Civil Estadounidense)

Divisas del ejército (Guerra Civil Estadounidense)

Las divisas del ejército fueron usadas originalmente por los soldados de la Unión en la tapa de su casquillo del forraje del ejército (kepi), del lado izquierdo del sombrero, o del excedente su pecho izquierdo. La idea se atribuye al general Philip Kearny quién pidió a sus hombres que se cosieran un cuadrado de dos pulgadas de paño rojo en sus sombreros para evitar confusiones en el campo de batalla. Ésta idea fue adoptada por el general Joseph Hooker después de que él asumiera el comando del ejército del Potomac, así cualquier soldado podría ser identificado adistancia.

El general Daniel Butterfield tuvo la tarea de diseñar una forma distintiva de la divisa para cada cuerpo. Butterfield también diseñó una divisa de cada división en el cuerpo de diversos colores.

Las divisas para los hombres alistados fueron cortadas del material coloreado, mientras que las divisas del oficial se hicieron en privado y de más de alta calidad. Las divisas metálicas fueron hechas por los joyeros y personalizadas a menudo para el usuario. Las divisas se convirtieron en parte eventual de las regulaciones del ejército y de una gran fuente del orgullo del regimiento.

Las divisas de la división fueron coloreadas de la siguiente forma:

Rojo: First Division of Corps
Blanco: Second Division of Corps
Azul: Third Division of Corps
Verde: Fourth Division of 6th, 9th and 20th Corps
Amarillo: Fourth Division of 15th Corps
Multicolor: Headquarter or Artillery Elements (certain Corps)
