The Great Food Shortage
Meat is a luxury
Here are the Facts
One fact is that food shortage is due to three factors: the drain of manpower into the army, the Union occupation of food-growing areas, and the loss of slaves to work in the fields.
Another fact is in 1861 the average family spent $6.65 a month on food. By mid-1863, it was spending $68 a month—if it could find any food to buy.
The Final fact is in 1863 hundreds of women and children—and some men—stormed bakeries and rioted for bread.
