Your welcome. I”m not a CSA basher by any stretch of the imagination...I’ve just read everything I could get my hands on related to that facinating moment in our nation’s history.

The CSA’s demise was sown into its own Constitution, and not just with its codifying of Slavery, but its over the top states rights provisions that made it almost impossible to defend itself in the moments of crisis. Thats how Lee’s army was barefoot while Georgia’s governor had warehouses with 50,000 complete sets of uniforms, including footgear, for just one example.
