I Wish I Had Coffee – Different version  – Despite the Union’s constraints, the blockade achieved the desired outcome as the war went on, with a decreasing amount of supplies reaching the Confederate troops. As a result, coffee, which was a common beverage in the South before the war, became a luxury for both the military and civilians.  What was the Civil War-era coffee that the South consumed? – Everything that could be collected and roasted in the field was used as a lame substitute, including chicory, acorns, dandelions, rye, peanuts, and peas.
