But yes, the Rebels (and their allies) did use massed unit fire as much as the British (and their allies).

The uniforms were not, however, either red or blue. Some were green, some brown, and a variety of other colors (including black). The Rebels might wear "blue and buff" but that was towards the end -- lots of times they wore whatever they could get. The riflemen of the British, as well as their Jaeger Hessian allies, wore green, possibly with red piping.

Quite confusing, really.
