FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF CONFEDERATES DESCRIBED THEIR BREAD RATIONS AS A CORN COB MIXTURE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF The southern soldiers' bread rations were most often in the form of cornmeal which they learned to cook in a variety of ways. One man reported: The only way we had to cook it was to mix it with a little water and salt and then fry it. My share gave me such a pain in my stomach that I could hardly walk. The men would cook corn bread cakes called 'slapjacks' over open fires. They were brown wads of dough on sticks that were wrapped in a batter in shucks and cooked over hot ashes. However the men would choose to prepare the cornmeal, they often ended up with a very unpalatable bread, which were charred on one side and pasty on the other. It would kill a horse to digest them reported a Texan. Confederate soldiers described the poor quality cornmeal that was issued to them as: nothing more or less than a mixture of corn cob and saw dust. Another soldier said of their meal that they dare not sift it for there would not have been enough pure meal to fill a cup.

He asked for comments from those around him and started studying it all. He had already sent a letter to General Robert E. Lee and wanted his opinion for the possibilities of carrying their fight toward the west. After commanding the Army of Northern Virginia, Davis was seeking council on this suggestion from the General-in-Chief General Lee had seen their struggle from the heights to its con- clusion at Appomattox. On the 20th of April in 1865 he forwards a letter saying that he's opposed to continuation of hostilities through guerilla warfare. He recommends an end to all fighting for independence of the Confederate States of America. Davis believed that their partisan struggles would be the second stage of Southern resistance to the north.

On the early morning of the 9th of April in 1865 the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, launches their final attack on the u- nion troops blocking their path to the south at Saylor's Creek. The Confederates succeed in breaking through their cavalry lines are are charged with another victory. They soon encounter union infrantrymen. These federals begin to advance, as another force begins to push toward their southern rearguard. General Lee realizes that further resistance is now futile. This brilliant Confederate General-in-Chief orders a white flag to be carried through their enemy line with a request of a cease fire, until he can work out the terms of surrender with General Grant.

Athough his Confederate staff is divided on this question, Gene- ral Lee decides to turn down the idea of a southern surrender on the 8th of April. He justifies this as their only option for the time being. As the evening begins to fall, General Lee has began to move for trying to break through the union line at Appomattox Courthouse.

They often achieved their goals for a period, but after a time these thin threads of limited agreements, would fall apart. After working for months to hold the southern states in the fed- eral government, the Senator from Kentucky finally came to real- ize his efforts were all futile. A former Vice President of the United States could not achieve the impossible. Senator Brecken- ridge is outed from the senate by a 36-0 vote on December 4th of 1861. After being expelled from the Senate, John Breckenridge goes and joins the Confederate States of America's Army. His final deci- sion came in November of 1861 and finally ends his endless and a very exhaustive effort to hold onto a threadless American peace.

On November 7th General Grant is directed to seize two areas in Kentucky that is part of the overall plan to take the river and invade the neutral state as well. On November 7th, 3500 union troops leave Cairo, Illinois to a point at Belmont, Missouri. They travel in two gun boats and four other vessels. When the Confederates observe their landing, General Leonidas Polk quickly crosses the Mississ- ippi and presses the federals back into their boats. Gene- ral Grant continues going further northward and surveys the area. TThis inconclusive raid was also accompanied by fed- eral reconnaissance from Paducah to Columbus. Neither of these actions result in any gain at all for fed- eral commanders. Casualties in these movements tally up to 120 killed and 383 wounded for the north. Confederates lose 105 men with 494 being wounded. This operation at Belmont is insignificant in the overall drive to control the mighty Mississippi River in 1861.

They were able to supply their forces with everything needed. One of the pleasures of the Confederate raiders was to know about the movements of these supply wagons and to intercept them as often as possible. Southern troops in Kentucky were always on alert for any of these wagon supply trains moving into their areas. On October 20th of 1862, Confederates forces manage to make an attack and destroy 81 federal wagons. They move on in to Bardstown itself and seize yet another train of wagons sev- eral hours later.
