Question

Which of the following did NOT contribute to the shortage of goods and supplies in Texas during the Civil War?

Answer 1

Answer:

D.

refugees flooding the state

Explanation:

Confederate soldiers also experienced major food shortages, especially in the latter two years of the war. Much of this was due to food spoilage, inadequate or disrupted supply lines, bad weather, the destruction of crops, and Union occupation of food-producing areas of the South.

A small number joined the Union army. For Texans on all sides, the war brought hardships. Although only a few battles were fought in the state, the effect of the war was widespread. Traffic through the state's major port at Galveston was halted by a Union blockade early in the war.
