I did some research on Confederate Civil War uniforms so I can make this colorization as accurate as possible. Here is what I learned: 1) The Confederacy didn’t have really have standardized uniforms. Officers were also required to purchased their own so in many cases, they were individualized 2) The only thing that was standardize on the uniforms was the rank, the color of the collar and insignias. This varied of course from rank, unit and occupation. 3) Buster is wearing a Lt. Colonel’s uniform and not a General uniform. The General uniform would have three stars and a wreath around it. The blue collar represents that he is in the infantry. His hat is a generic officer’s hat.

“If someone had thrown their arms around him and hugged him and kissed him, he’d have been the happiest man in the world…what he wanted, what he really needed was affection.”

Buster Keaton and Marceline Day, The Cameraman, 1928

“In the last scene the girl and I walked up Lower Broadway. She kept telling me how everybody admired me. Suddenly the windows on all floors of the skyscrapers we’re passing open, and ticker tape and confetti by the bale are thrown out. Believing the acclaim is for me, I bow and blow kisses at all my admirers. But the last shot of the picture reveals that the excited welcome is really for a man riding right behind us, a fellow named Lindbergh who had just made a solo flight over the Atlantic Ocean.”
