In the mid-nineteenth century French Chasseurs and Zouaves became the stereotypes for bravery and to a degree their own lives as soldiers were enhanced by this attention. French Zouaves enjoyed a reputation of being recklessly brave on the battlfield, as though warfare was merely a game and their lives simply the table stakes. In 1859 the United States Zouave Cadets was formed, the first known unit in America to adopt the distinctive Zouave uniform.
