Slavery was at the heart of the South's agrarian economy before and
during the Civil War. Agriculture provided products essential to
the war effort, from dietary rations to antimalarial drugs to raw
materials for military uniforms and engineering. Drawing on a range
of primary sources, this history examines the botany and
ethnobotany of America's defining conflict. The author describes
the diverse roles of cash crops, herbal medicine, subsistence
agriculture and the diet and cookery of enslaved people.
