169 Not Enough Railroads Will Make You Salty in the Bad Way

Season 5 Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Every seasone needs a salt episode!  And here it is.  It's mainly about why the South was without salt - and how that meant they couldn't keep food around.  That is - if they had been making enough.  Which they were not.

This is also the last time I will blather on about the difference in railroad plans and how it helped back the Confeds into a corner they built themselves.


Don't invest in your people and pay attention to technology and you will be left behind.  Especially if you are attempting to run your little corner of the world.  It happened before, It's happening now - and it will happen again.
