During the Civil War, civilians on both sides were enormously hospitable to invading armies, especially the South. Plantations would provide food and respite from the grueling battlefields, all with southern hospitality.

Both sides WERE generally civil and moral. Not so today.

Ok, I think you mistook not wanting to stay on an army’s good side with hospitality, because I’ve read no books on this that talked about some down-home good natured hospitality on the part of civilians.
