After the bread riots in Richmond in April of 1863, similar food shortage disturbances followed in Atlanta, Columbus, and Mobile, Alabama to name just a few places where citizens experienced food shortages. These problems were mostly in the East. The irony of them was that in the South's agricultural economy, the Confederate government was able to supply its armies, but not all of its people.

What impact did the Richmond bread riots have on the Civil War as a whole?
Taken in the entire context of the US Civil War, the food supply riots in Richmond were no more significant as the anti draft riots in New York City in 1863. Both events were damaging to the Union and the Confederacy. It must be noted that only by a long siege was the Union able to capture Richmond in 1864. Quite a number of military attacks on Richmond failed miserably earlier in the war.
