How did the Texas farmers help to feed the confederate army?

Texas farmers played a crucial role in feeding the Confederate Army during the Civil War by providing essential food supplies, including meat, grains, and vegetables. Their agricultural output was vital due to the South's blockade and the scarcity of resources. Many farmers also supported the war effort by enlisting and helping transport provisions to troops. This local support ensured that Confederate soldiers were better sustained despite the challenges of wartime logistics.

What advantage did Union soldiers have over Confederate soldiers in the US Civil War?

They could be deployed quicker, because the North had a much greater railroad mileage. And most importantly, Union soldiers were better fed.


What did a Confederate sympathizer mean?

During the US Civil War there were significant numbers of people not living in the Confederacy, to sympathize with the Southern cause. Prospective people that fit into this group were slave owners and regular citizens in the so-called "Border States" that not only hoped for Southern independence, but actively supported Confederate guerrillas when they raided the North. They gave them supplies and information about Union troops movements.To put this situation in a better perspective, President Lincoln was so concerned about Confederate sympathizers in Maryland that Union troops and artillery were threatened against any groups of pro-Southern people early in 1861.
