The Sneath S Mark

Originally, glassware made by the Sneath Glass Company could easily be identified by an "S" on the bottom of the product, such as on the spice jar shown in the adjacent photograph. Eventually, the "S" mark was discontinued.

The "S" was eliminated to save mold–cleaning time. When the molds for the glassware became unclean, they would need to be scrubbed. In addition to the time spent scrubbing, the "S" on the mold would, in effect, eventually be polished off the mold—making replacement necessary. By not using the "S" mark, scrubbing time was eliminated, and molds would last longer. The problem with this cost-saving change was that it did not promote the Sneath brand. Sneath products lost their brand recognition, became difficult to identify, and competitors could make similar products that customers could not differentiate from Sneath's.

Code for Civil War descriptions and uniforms

[edit]

The two sides were the blue-clad federal soldiers that were mostly from northern states against gray-clad rebels from the south who sought to form a separate country called the Confederate States of America.[Note 4][Note 5]

Between September 20, 1860, and February 1, 1861, seven southern states seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America.[Note 6]

Notes

[edit]

Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^ A 1910 newspaper article referred to the lock as "lock 21".[7]
  2. ^ The cavalry consisted of companies B, C, D, E, F, H, and I.[1]
  3. ^ The two sides in the American Civil War were divided geographically. The northern states wanted to preserve the union of all states as part of the United States of America, and many of its people were anti-slavery. Although there were exceptions, soldiers from the north generally wore blue uniforms. Among the names given to the northern soldiers were "Yankees", federals, bluecoats or union soldiers. The southern states tried to rebel and form the Confederate States of America. They were generally called rebels or Confederates. When they were able to get military uniforms, they were typically gray or butternut. A major issue for the war was slavery. In the north, abolitionists believed slavery was immoral and should not exist. In the south, Africans (the slaves), with their natural resistance to malaria, were a superior labor force for harvesting crops that were essential to the southern economy.[10] Thus, a major northern cause was morality, while the southern reason for slavery was economic.[11]
  4. ^ During the American Civil War, the states that remained in the United States were located in the northern portion of the country. They were often called "the North", federals, the Union, or simply the United States.[16] The official uniform color for Union soldiers was blue, although some of the volunteer regiments did not adhere to the official colors at the beginning of the war.[17]
  5. ^ The Confederate States of America existed during the Civil War in the southern portion of today's United States—from Texas to Virginia and the Carolinas. Other names used to describe the Confederate States included "the South"—because of its location, and "rebels"—because the Confederate states were in rebellion against the United States.[16] The official uniform color for Confederate soldiers was eventually gray, although many rebels at the beginning of the war did not have uniforms. A common color for Confederate uniforms in addition to gray was a light shade of brown called butternut.[17]
  6. ^ The major issues that caused the American Civil War were slavery and the rights of states. In the north, abolitionists believed slavery was immoral and should not exist. The southern states believed that the northern abolitionists were interfering with states' rights.[18] In the south, Africans (the slaves), with their natural resistance to malaria, were a superior labor force for harvesting crops that were essential to the southern economy.[10] Thus, the northern reason for keeping the states together but ending slavery was morality, while the southern reason for leaving the union and keeping slavery was economic.[11]
