Our Southern Tradition

Having black-eyed peas on New Year's Day is a tradition in many southern homes today and it's said to bring good luck. And like so many other traditions, there is an interesting story behind it.

During the Civil War, General Sherman's Union troops captured the city of Atlanta. On November 15, 1864 Sherman began marching his troops from Atlanta to Savannah. The Union troops cut a swath of destruction across Georgia during that infamous march to the sea. It was, after all, a war, and Sherman's goal was to leave no supplies behind for his enemies.

The Union troops burned crops, killed livestock and generally wreaked havoc as they went, while many who lived in the army's path went into hiding. Sherman's army finally reached Savannah on December 22, 1864.

By the time New Year's Day came around, most of the victims had come out of hiding and found they were facing certain starvation. The Union troops had destroyed everything edible - except for silos filled with black-eyed peas.

Black-eyed peas were mainly used for cattle feed, and since the cattle had been killed, the peas had been left. People from Atlanta to Savannah were lucky to have black-eyed peas to eat that New Year, and a tasty southern tradition was born.
