Oooops, a little research tells me I'm incorrect about the Zouave influence in the South. Seems it was the North that had some Zouave influence. The name, however, does come from some colorful historical French units. The bayonet was common on Zouave rifles built by Remington. Other shorter rifles...Musketoons...also had such style bayonets. Most Civil War rifles used the triangular bayonet.
