At the beginning of the American Civil War the Federal government
imposed a blockade of the southern coast of the Confederate States
of America, including the ""dark corner of the Confederacy"" -
Texas. Much of the fighting in Texas during the Civil War took
place in the state's coastal counties and the adjoining Gulf of
Mexico waters, and nearly all of these engagements were involved in
one way or another with the Union blockade of the Texas coast.This
book examines all major blockade-related land and sea engagements
in and near Texas, and also includes many minor ones. It begins
with a discussion of the blockade's creation and then concentrates
on the successful Confederate efforts to evade the blockade by
shipping cotton out of Mexico and, in return, receiving material
and civilian goods through that neutral nation. The author also
covers political intrigue and the spy activity with the French who
had invaded Mexico. The book concludes with an analysis of the
effectiveness of the Union blockade of Texas.
