Confederate or Union

[bottlines]

I think he may be confederate, but not sure. And it seems like I recognize him, but just can't place him. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a federal regular to me. And the tax stamp on the back is usually a tale tale sign of a union image. Since it was a tax that the federal government started to help fund the war. But I could always be wrong! All in all great image definitely CW

The tax stamp gives it away, although I like the man's coat as federal issue.

I lean Union based on coat, wouldn't place so much emphasis on a tax stamp, I have a photo of my GGGF with a tax stamp on it, he had it took apparently on returning home at wars end

Thanks all. Yes, I have had many with tax stamps in Confederate uniforms come through. Even a Robert E. Lee! Wasn't sure on the uniform though as I saw a Confederate young private in a very similar uniform.

The uniform on the OP picture looks like a standard union frock coat.

On The picture above it is not a union frock coat. The color on the collar, the shoulder straps...
