Very poorly researched and written.

This article is lousy even by Wikipedia standards. How about we have a rule going forward that history must written by historians? The history of the entire Confederate civil service being drawn from a few pages from essentially one source? Come on, now. None of the principal persons involved is mentioned, no organization, no timeline, no sequence of events. F minus. 2600:387:C:7118:0:0:0:C (talk) 06:09, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
