Yessssssss, I just was thinking they were not well developed transportation-wise, to get cotton to the Gulf ports. I was under a false impression, apparently.

Did you know that Texas was a major supplier of a ingredient for gunpowder (black powder) for the Confederacy? 20 points if you guess what that was and where from.

We did have use of the wheel back then and used the same type of mules & horses as the other Southern States.
