Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work addresses many persistent misconceptions of what the monitors were for, and why they failed in other roles associated with naval operations of the Civil War (such as the repulse at Charleston, April 7, 1863). Monitors were 'ironclads'- not fort-killers. Their ultimate success is to be measured not in terms of spearheading attacks on fortified Southern ports but in the quieter, much more profound, strategic deterrence of Lord Palmerston's ministry in London, and the British Royal Navy's potential intervention. The relatively unknown 'Cold War' of the American Civil War was a nevertheless crucial aspect of the survival, or not, of the United States in the mid 19th-century. Foreign intervention—explicitly in the form of British naval power—represented a far more serious threat to the success of the Union blockade, the safety of Yankee merchant shipping worldwide, and Union combined operations against the South than the Confederate States Navy. Whether or not the North or South would be 'clad in iron' thus depended on the ability of superior Union ironclads to deter the majority of mid-Victorian British leaders, otherwise tempted by their desire to see the American 'experiment' in democratic class-structures and popular government finally fail. Discussions of open European involvement in the Civil War were pointless as long as the coastline of the United States was virtually impregnable. Combining extensive archival research on both sides of the Atlantic, this work offers an in-depth look at how the Union Navy achieved its greatest grand-strategic victory in the American Civil War. Through a combination of high-tech 'machines' armed with 'monster' guns, intensive coastal fortifications and a new fleet of high-speed Union commerce raiders, the North was able to turn the humiliation of the Trent Affair of late 1861 into a sobering challenge to British naval power and imperial defense worldwide.

Download or read book Du Pont, the Making of an Admiral written by James M. Merrill and published by Dodd Mead. This book was released on 1986 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Admiral Du Pont left an extraordinary record of his long and distinguished career through the detailed and frank letters he wrote home almost daily while at sea, telling of his travels, his shipmates, his commanding officers , his frustrations, his opinions of naval government policies. This record also accurately mirrors the history of the United States Navy from 1815 to 1865. Du Pont joined the navy at age fourteen. He was on the famed Constitution and other ships that "showed the flag" in the Mediterranean; he served with distinction during the Mexican War; he helped establish the Naval Academy; and he led a diplomatic mission to China. He lived through the greatest of all naval revolutions, the change from sail to steam, from wood to iron, from paddlewheels to propellers."--Publisher's description.
