Answer 2

The Civil war was not about Slavery remember! I would be in the Confederacy because Im against a central Federal Government and I support States Rights :) I do not support slavery :)

Answer 3

Reading between the lines of Federal and Confederate Troops I think I can answer your question.

They bought cloth in bulk, a rough course one for uniforms called Shoddy which when it got continuously wet fell apart.

So that today if you buy anything that falls apart it is considered to be Shoddy Goods.

They also purchased vast quantities of Ticking this was used as paliasse covers (rough mattress) and for shirts as this was quite hard-wearing.

When ever the soldiers came upon dead bodies the first thing they took were the boots. As the common footwear were made with only one nail holding them together.

Because we Brits relied heavily on the cotton produced by the South be supported them but when they lost the war our cotton trade went down hill and we had to import cotton from France at an overpriced rate.

Because Generals Lee and Grant had been classmates at West Point prior to the Civil War when Lee surrendered to Grant he refused to take Lee's sword from him and allowed Lee and his men fully armed to leave the battlefield.

Answer 4

in the 1860's, the USA was primarily an agriculture society, so many were self sufficient. There was some trade with the confederacy. I believe Spain tried to maintain commerace with The confederacy. The north implemented lots of navel blockades to prevent trade. But remember, the states generally exported food, tobbacco, fur etc, while they imported more exotic items such as tea, linen, silverware etc.

As the war continued, and the men were gone, many of the farms fell into disrepair and were unable to continue providing adequate food for the confederacy. Also, there were maraudeers and army's that would pillage farms for their own benefit, leaving the occupants in dire straits.

I think it was pretty much hit-and-miss during the civil war, as far as trade and food supplies.

Answer 5

I did not know you could buy "sorry" in bulk now or then, but yes they have had markets since the roman times you could buy cotton in bulk and anything else if you need the larger quanities and they where available.

Answer 6

Yep,cotton was king and of course and arms,these were
mainly exported to England but because the only
transit was by sea and blockades, by the conflictants,was
by there war ships.Tobacco and tea were other products to
have run the blockades.
