Hardships on the home front fell most heavily on the poor. Flour that cost three or four cents a pound in 1861 cost thirty-five cents in 1863. The draft stripped yeoman farms of men, leaving the women and children to grow what they ate. Government agents took 10% of farm wives' as a "tax-in-kind" on agriculture.

In the spring of 1863, bread riots broke out in dozens of cities and villages across the South.
