Some Great Civil War Websites - Great Pictures & Articles of Confederate Troops

I discovered the Civil War Gazette online while researching Civil War topics. They have some great articles and pictures of individual Confederates, Confederate uniforms and equipment, and burial sites of soldiers.  UPDATE:  The Civil War Gazette has recently insulted the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Confederate cause, is Yankee biased and anti-Southern.  Read at your own risk.

Here's an example. This is an original Confederate kepi worn by a soldier at the Battle of Franklin. Note the construction and the wool pattern. When purchasing replica uniforms, authenticity is important, and studying the original uniforms can aid you in achieving it.

Another worthy site is Civil War Potpourri. It has a list of articles on many aspects of the Civil War, namely the causes, casualties, uniforms, weapons, etc. The "Causes" page is of special interest to Confederate descendants -- that's because this section is told from the Southern view, what the Southern soldier thought he was fighting for. See Causes of the Civil War (From the Southern View).
