Sherman's Army foraged and left a swath of distruction as he pushed into the deep South. One of the few things left behind, seen less than palatable by the conquering Union forces, were black eyed peas.
Luck takes many forms.

I have a very strong feeling that soldiers in the 1860's knew well and good how to soak out and cook a mess of beans.

Black eye peas, collards, cornbread, ham & fresh cow milk.
Black eye peas are for good luck
Collards for money in the coming year (green)
Cornbread to enrich the soil & life
Ham for property
Fresh cow milk, because it is good with hot corn bread.
South Carolina cooking for over one hundred years.
