Were coonskin hats in civil war?

Coonskin hats were not specifically associated with the Civil War, as they became popular later in the 19th century. These hats, made from raccoon fur and often featuring the tail, were popularized by figures like Davy Crockett and became a symbol of frontier life. During the Civil War (1861-1865), soldiers typically wore more practical military headgear. However, some civilian fashion trends of the period may have included similar fur hats.
