Is a Confederate uniform an inappropriate halloween costume?

[alfred russel]

Yes but make it a ZOMBIE Confederate

Like the ghost of dead conferate soldiers? Nothing bad could come from that...

Do it.

Be Zombie Lee, that's pretty cool.

I think the dress of the KKK came from them initially claiming to be the ghosts of dead confederate soldiers when they intimidated/attacked their victims.

Given how the war was about tariffs and states' rights, that's weird.

In 6th grade each kid in my class had to pick a hero from American history and come to school dressed up as them. I picked Robert E. Lee.

I don't think it's appropriate even for Civil War reenactments.

maybe if you make it a zombie-halloween-costume... It'll be at least a bit halloween-scary then.
As it is normally a confederate uniform isn't scary enough to stop a brigade of union soldiers from burning down atlanta.

I was photgraphed in Confederate uniform at a themepark in Germany once (they make the picture look like from the period). Unfortunately, I don't have the picture anymore, which may be just as well as the uniform was highly inaccurate.

If I wanted to dress as a Celtic Warrior, what kind of shoes would I use? What would I use to dye my hair and make it stick up like the Celts? I could just use pajama bottoms with pajama bottoms featuring a tartan, and some tattoos, and maybe a gold necklace of some sort, but what kind of sandals or boots would they wear?

Go-Go boots.

States don't have rights.

I'm not sure you're not being evil for evil's sake.

I think it would be inappropriate.

Or go for the cheap alternative:

Heh.  It just occurred to me.  According to Lettow's ideology a Celtic warrior and a Confederate warrior are the same thing!

So I encourage both Faeelin and Queequeg to wear the same outfit.  Some kind of amalgamation of ancient Celt and Confederate.  A gray tunic with brass buttons and epaulettes, a white skirt, military boots with spurs and a big winged helmet.
