What a Civil War would look like, it might be brief (one side doesn't know what bathroom to use), Neocons can't decide (WW3 or CW?) & more Civil War memes as Hollywood releases a Civil War 2 movie!
They really did need a tasty steak sauce during the civil [sic] war. In battle food is always scarce, so we can safely assume that horses killed in battle were eaten by the surviving soldiers. No Jeeps or trucks in that era, but plenty of heavy stuff needing to be moved, ergo, lots of horses. People not used to eating horse meat needed something to make it tastier.
When I took US history in (a private, all boys) high school in '76, my teacher referred to Ulysses S. Grant as "Useless S. Grant". He was what we call today a "functioning alcoholic". Somebody told Lincoln that Grant (a thoroughly competent killer) drank on the battlefield, to which Honest [sic] Abe replied "Find out what he drinks and send a barrel to all my other generals." As President, he enjoyed riding a buggy down Pennsylvania Avenue behind four galloping Clydesdales after getting totally 'faced. Not as dangerous as drunk driving today, I suppose.
Apparently A1 sauce was invented in England, which wasn't directly involved in the War of Northern Aggression.
Well, there goes my theory!

He was also the only general Lincoln had who wanted to fight... aside from Sherman...
Sherman was a sicko sadist.
