Apparently A1 sauce was invented in England, which wasn't directly involved in the War of Northern Aggression.

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.
