A costume uniform to dress up as the Union General Ulysses S. Grant. This child costume comes with jacket with decorative buttons, bow tie, belt, boot toppers, hat and beard. Not included: collard shirt, sword, scabbard, pants and shoes.

Ulysses S. Grant certainly does not have the typical war hero “back story.” Although a graduate of West Point, he never wanted to be a soldier and was terrified when he first saw battle. However, during the Civil War, after many Northern generals failed to deliver decisive victories, U.S. Grant rose to what the times required. He took command of Union forces, helped bring the war to an end in 1865, and went on to serve two terms as president.

Our Union officer costume is a blue shirt fashioned like a jacket with a yellow standing collar and matching blue pants. The shirt also features yellow cuffs that match the collar and embroidered epaulets on the sleeves, as well as three pairs of gold buttons down the front. The Soldier costume's matching blue pants feature gold ribbon trim down the outside of each leg, for a genuine military look.

Our Union Officer Costume is perfect for school plays, pageants, history projects or Civil War reenactments.

Historians have traced the origins of the Klan to Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866, but the details behind the group's emergence have long remained shadowy. By parsing the earliest descriptions of the Klan, Elaine Frantz Parsons reveals that it was only as reports of the Tennessee Klan's mysterious and menacing activities began circulating in northern newspapers that whites enthusiastically formed their own Klan groups throughout the South. The spread of the Klan was thus intimately connected with the politics and mass media of the North.Shedding new light on the ideas that motivated the Klan, Parsons explores Klansmen's appropriation of images and language from northern urban forms such as minstrelsy, burlesque, and business culture. While the Klan sought to retain the prewar racial order, the figure of the Ku-Klux became a joint creation of northern popular cultural entrepreneurs and southern whites seeking, perversely and violently, to modernize the South. Innovative and packed with fresh insight, Parsons' book offers the definitive acc... [Read More]
