Government. Good afternoon, everyone. How are you all doing . Our topic for today is the second part of our civil war content for this semester. And i want to talk today about Economic Policy and social events that are tied to the economy. I have kind of titled this, feeding the confederacy. We will focus most of our attention on the Confederate States and we will talk about the crucial issue of how you make sure that your soldiers and your civilians have enough to eat over the course of the war. There are two key ironies of this confederate experience for me. And that historians who study the confederacy really point to. One is that the Confederate States of america is a predominantly agricultural nation. We have talked about this before. The vast majority of the population in the union and the confederacy are people who live on farms. But especially in the Confederate States. We are dealing with a population that is overwhelmingly people who live on farms. And yet they will struggle

And yet the confederate government is going to become stronger and more invasive than any Government People had seen to this point in order to

This is surprising when you think of agriculture nation. The second big irony here, is that the foundations of the confederacy, the documents and the secession documents, before they join the confederate say, we want in limited government with more power to the states. Yet, the confederate government is going to become stronger, and more invasive than any Government People had seen to this point. In order to wage war, and try to feed everyone. Two key ironies, we are going to talk about how they come about. A flash point for this question of how you feed everyone is a series of riots. In the spring of 1863. In the confederacy, most notably in the capital city o
