This analysis of naval engagements during the War Between the
States presents the action from the efforts at Fort Sumter during
the secession of South Carolina in 1860, through the battles in the
Gulf of Mexico, on the Mississippi River, and along the eastern
seaboard, to the final attack at Fort Fisher on the coast of North
Carolina in January 1865. This work provides an understanding of
the maritime problems facing both sides at the beginning of the
war, their efforts to overcome these problems, and their attempts,
both triumphant and tragic, to control the waterways of the South.
The Union blockade, Confederate privateers and commerce raiders are
discussed, as is the famous battle between the Monitor and the
Merrimack. An overview of the events in the early months preceding
the outbreak of the war is presented. The chronological arrangement
of the campaigns allows for ready reference regarding a single
event or an entire series of campaigns. Maps and an index are also
included.
