What was the uniform of the 2nd South Carolina Volunteer Regiment (US Colored Troops) in 1863 when they participated in the Combahee River Raid?
I can only find the uniform of the 1st South Carolina Volunteer Regiment which was the typical union blue coat with red trousers. The 2nd SC Vol. Reg was depicted in two movies: in the movie "Glory" this regiment was depicted in the Darien, GA raid wearing red trousers. In the more recent movie "Harriet" this regiment was depicted wearing the the typical light blue trousers. Which uniform is correct for 1863?
