Best Answer

Confederate Major General Braxton Bragg's army was recuperating in Tupelo, Mississippi and he was having problems keeping his men from not reenlisting and with deserters. Bragg used a series of stringent policies to keep his army in tact. He used threats to those soldiers who failed to reenlist and sent out search parties for deserters.Food supplies were a problem along with railway transportation. Telegraph communications with Richmond reached such a terrible status that he resorted to the regular mail to keep Richmond informed of his status. Gradually all these problems were resolved. Historians credit Bragg's organizational skills and efficiency to have his army ready to take the field.
