These units no longer functioned as actual militia, but had become more along the line of gentlemen's clubs, who tried to out-do each other in the area of uniforms and extravagant picnics! It wouldn't surprise me at all if kilts appeared in some of these militia groups.
But in the field? No, and that goes for the Federals as well....
