America Civil War Song: Goober Peas

Toward the end of the American Civil War the South's food supply was very limited. Peanuts or "goober peas" were a main source of food for the Confederate army because they grow easily in the South. Soldiers griped noisily about having so little to eat and the poor goober became the subject of a song. On the march or around a late night campfire, whenever a laugh was needed, the silly "Goober Peas" rang out. Soldiers from Georgia, the peanut capital of the south, were often called "goober grabbers."
