Second Hand Clothes
Southern
Confederacy (Atlanta,GA) carried the following notice on November 1,
1862 (p. 2, c. 2): The women! Their Unbounded Patriotism! The
Chattanooga Rebel of the 30t says: "We are authorized to state that the
ladies of Chattanooga will use their surplus dresses
in making comforts for the soldier, if they can get cotton. They are
willing to pay for it if any person will furnish them what they want for
this purpose. Will not the men furnish the cotton without requiring the
ladies to pay for it? Cot quilts, as they were known, were made during the Civil War by various ladies' aide society groups. These quilts were sometimes inscribed with patriotic sayings and wordsof comfort. Not many of these quilts survived because of the harsh wear and tear they received.
