Is there a possibility that confederate soldiers used supplies from Mexico, such as cartridge boxes, during the Civil War? Is it possible that Mexican supplies could have been acquired by confederate soldiers whom fought in the Mexican War a decade earlier? I ask this because I found a small brass buckle that fits the description of a buckle used on a Mexican cartridge box or shot bag. I found it in an area known to be occupied by confederate soldiers.
