California has often been referred to as the breadbasket of the world. In fact the California Department of Food and Agriculture notes that California is the world’s fifth largest supplier of food and agriculture

Look up the 1860s US Railroad map. What little rail connection that tied Fla to the Confederacy were all limited to the Georgia-FLA border. It would be logistically impossible for FLA to be “the bread basket of the confederacy”

The Shenandoah Valley was known as the Bread Basket of the South during the Civil War since it supplied much of the food and other badly needed resources for troops. Today, the region continues to support a healthy agriculture industry — including great Angus cattle.

OH and his statement is seriously the dumbest shit I have ever heard.

Look at the rail linkage. It would be logistically impossible for FLA to be “the breadbasket of the Confederacy”. Considering the state had 140,000 citizens and 70000 slaves the notion that it fed the South is absurd nonsense.

The Breadbasket of the Confederacy
 
Harrisonburg and Rockingham County played a significant role in the Civil War. Harrisonburg was situated at the cross roads of two major highways, the Valley Turnpike (modern-day Rt. 11) and the Rockingham Turnpike (modern-day Rt. 33).  It was also just 50 miles north of a huge Confederate rail and supply center in Staunton. At the time, Rockingham County was one of the most prosperous agricultural counties in the nation, thus it garnered the nickname “the breadbasket of the Confederacy.”

DISUNION August 8, 2012

The Breadbasket of the Union

By CHRISTOPHER PHILLIPS

The summer of 1862 saw the Civil War’s two fronts as a mirror image. In the West, Federal troops had harnessed long stretches of the Cumberland, Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers to drive deep into the Confederacy. Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Nashville and Memphis had all fallen, leaving Union forces largely in control of Kentucky, middle and western Tennessee, northern Mississippi and northern Alabama.

But in Virginia, Confederates were having a summer of unprecedented successes. Stonewall Jackson humiliated five different federal commanders in the Shenandoah Valley and at the Battle of Cedar Mountain. Robert E. Lee had stymied George B. McClellan’s Peninsula Campaign aimed at Richmond, and in August joined Jackson to humiliate John Pope at Second Manassas.

Confederate leaders saw this as the moment to capitalize on these successes with a bold military incursion into Kentucky in August. The Union’s breadbasket, the western border states lying astride the Ohio River, was about to become the next front.

As well as being a truly beautiful part of the world.

We already know the press is liberal. In some ways it's better now that they've quit lying about being 'objective'.

Another advantage for us? Citizens are waking up to the truth of our reality.

Very good. I had wondered about the rail links.

Also, Florida could not have shipped via sea because the federal navy controlled the seas.
