I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding primary sources for vegetarian soldiers of the era. I'm chiefly interested in learning if federal soldiers of the Army of the Potomac, albeit a scant minority, maintained these dietary limits, either of religious or otherwise convictions. Yet of course, any information will be very much welcomed. My apologies if this particular inquiry is redundant.
Did some privates, choose not to eat meat? Why or why not? Would it be fair conjecture, that if there were a handful in the AoP(or any army), these individuals would be ridiculed most severely by their comrades, NCO's, or even officers?
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Humbly present,
John Rouse
