You will see many drawings or artworks showing Civil War soldiers with their trouser legs tucked in to their socks. This is especially true of drawings and artwork of Confederate soldiers. So was this actually common?
It would seem like the trouser legs would not stay tucked in very well unless one tied a string around the sock or the trouser leg. I am not a reenactor and I have never tucked my trouser legs in to my socks so perhaps one of our reenactors can helps us know if the trouser legs would stay tucked in.
