What I found fascinating about the articles was that soldiers at that time of war were dependent on coffee. They would drink it before and after marches, during their patrol and during battle. It seemed that from a soldier’s diet the most important thing for them was coffee. It was the last thing soldiers enjoyed before fighting in battle and the first sign of safety for those who survived. Coffee would be one of the things that the soldiers would talk about and drink before going to sleep. A civil war soldier would eat pretty much whatever food available which was needed for survival. Soldiers would also get sick because of the unsanitary food preparation so better cooking techniques were implemented to make for a better cooked meal. Soldiers from both sides also consumed hard tack which was a type of biscuit made from flour and water to prevent hunger.
