We remember these people because they served in the bloodiest war in American history.
The confederate soldiers food supply was really limited. They could only have small portions of food a day.
Most men in their army ranged from 18-29 years old
Their men had anywhere from 30-40 pounds on their back from carrying their rut sack. 7 pounds of it was ammo for their rifles
Soldiers got paid 11$ but their pay went up to 18$ in 1865. African Americans didn’t get paid and Chinese Americans got paid very little.
Morning routines were the same as the unions. They would be awaken by the sounds of the drums at 5 ante meridian and roll call was taken
