There is at least one documented story of it being done during the War, when the 1st Missouri Brigade (CS) was issued undeyed jeans wool uniforms in 1862 -- reportedly they were bleated at by other Confederate soldiers.

And I honour their memory, as well as the memory of their gallant adversaries, now united as Americans all, every Memorial Day.
