During the war time soldiers get little amount of food and taste less. “Hardtack was the union solders main source of food because it was cheap to make, easy to transport, and lasted a long time”. To eat this hard bread, solders often broke it up with a rock or rife butt and softened it by putting it in their coffee or heating it in grease.
