Specifically what were the KINDS of food that the confederates ate
Bumek [7]

Food rations in the military were delivered to Union soldiers by volunteers in the United States Sanitary Commission. The purpose of the commission was to ensure that <span>Civil War soldiers </span>were fed healthy and nutritional meals to prevent malnutrition and food poisoning.

An African-American army cook in City Point, VA

Since the focus was on health and nutrition, not culinary delight, and there were around 2 million soldiers to feed, the food tended to be bland, basic and simple. Each soldier’s daily rations included:

1. Three-quarters of a pound of pork or bacon, or one and one-quarter pound of fresh or salt pork
2. Eighteen ounces of flour or bread or 12 ounces of hardtack
3. One and one-quarter pound of cornmeal

Hardtack, also known as “army bread,” was type of hard, dry biscuit that soldiers had to soak in water and fry in grease or pork fat in order to eat.

Each unit was also given a food ration in addition to each soldier’s individual ration. A 100 man company was given:

1. Eight quarts of peas or beans, or 10 pounds of rice
2. Six to 10 pounds of coffee or one and one-half pounds of tea
3. Twelve to 15 pounds of sugar
4. Two quarts of salt

Vegetables, dried fruits, pickles and pickled cabbage were sometimes issued to prevent scurvy but only in small quantities. Other foods soldiers occasionally ate included baked beans, hardtack pudding, ashcakes and milk toast.

When weather or nearby fighting interrupted food deliveries, soldiers often had to forage for food. In extreme cases, such as during the Battle of Vicksburg, the soldiers had to eat rats, cats, bullfrogs and dogs, according to the book The Civil War Book of Lists.

The Confederate army provided its soldiers with the same rations as Union soldiers but food shortages in the south, caused by blockades of southern harbors, often made many of the ingredients hard to come by which forced many of the soldiers to hunt or forage for food.

As a result, boiled peanuts, which were an abundant crop in the south, became a staple of the Confederate army’s diet.

What were the challenges of Reconstruction?
Gelneren [198K]

Racial feelings with freed slaves

A major challenge during the Reconstruction was a lack of political focus which led to a failure to solve sectional wounds. It also resulted in the elimination of the freed slaves' newly gained civil liberties and ultimately failed to bring about long-term racial integration.

PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

1- The War of 1812 contributed to the growth of the United States by including new states because the reduction of British aid to Native Americans near the Mississippi River made white settlement easier.

2- The region that was a source of conflict between the United States and Great Britain was the Northwest.

3- The change in population between 1850 and 1860 was a result of a large wave of immigrants from Europe.

Explanation:

1- During the War of 1812, many native tribes collaborated with the British in exchange for economic aid and resources.

With the British defeat, the natives, who had been the main contenders of the Americans in the fighting (losing 10,000 men) were weakened in their position in their territories, to such an extent that those territories were effectively occupied and organized by representatives of the U.S.

2- The British claimed the entire Oregon Territory in the northwest of the current American territory, that is, they carried their claim south to the 42nd parallel north, which had been the limit agreed in 1819 between Spain and the United States in the Adams-Onis Treaty. The dispute between Great Britain and the United States was resolved peacefully, and until 1846 the United Kingdom and the United States, through the Anglo-American Convention of 1818, exercised a condominium over the entire Oregon Territory, further ensuring the inhibition of possible Mexican or Russian claims.

In 1846, Oregon's boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain was resolved by the signing of the Oregon Treaty. The British gained exclusive possession of the land north of the 49th North parallel and the entire island of Vancouver , while the United States received the areas south of that line.

3- Throughout the nineteenth century the population of the United States grew extraordinarily because of the constant arrival of European immigrants, mostly young, coming mainly from Britain, Ireland and Germany.

Thus, the population went from less than thirteen million in 1830 to forty million in 1870.
