What was the sound military advice given to Confederate President Jefferson Davis by a Virginia farmer?
In February of 1962, Jefferson Davis received a letter written by a Virginian farmer concerning his ideas on how to protect the Southern cause. The man was David J. Houston who had five sons enlisted in the Confederate army. His advice was sound and much of it was used by the South. Houston noted that it was impossible to defend all the Southern territory from Union attacks. There was just too much territory to protect.

Davis understood that and began to implement much of Houston's ideas.
