  • Civil War Blockade Run Mail, 1861-65
    Civil War Blockade Run Mail, 1861­65 Background: President Lincoln proclaimed the blockade of the southern coasts on April 19, 1861. Stretching from Virginia to Texas, the blockaded area encompassed over 3,500 miles of coastline and nearly 200 harbors and river openings, so the USA concentrated on the thirteen CSA deep‐water ports that could serve as effective transit points for supplies and mail. By early 1862, six of these ports had been captured by the USA before they could commence blockade running. By mid‐1862, New Orleans was also captured and Savannah was effectively closed. The remaining five ports were active in blockade running until they were captured late in the war, although Federal naval actions temporarily stopped blockade running at Charleston and Galveston. The blockade ended with the fall of Galveston on June 2, 1865. Geography: The map below shows the seven CSA ports active in blockade running for all or a part of the war. Also shown are the eleven routes to the five foreign ports (Halifax, Bermuda, Nassau, Havana and Matamoros) that acted as the staging points for supplies and mail. The Mails: Fewer than 400 of the letters carried by blockade runners are known today. Other than at New Orleans and Mobile, the blockade mail service was slow to develop since less hazardous through‐the‐lines mail routes were available until early 1862. Nearly all of the surviving letters were carried in the May 1862 to March 1865 period. An incoming letter to the CSA was typically sent inside of another envelope to one of the foreign staging ports for transfer to a blockade runner, and then posted in the CSA arrival port, where inland postage and a two cents ship fee were assessed.

  • Asians and Pacific Islanders in the Civil War March 2015 Note: This Is a Working Document
    Asians and Pacific Islanders in the Civil War March 2015 Note: This is a working document. The names noted in bold designate soldiers and sailors whose service has been confirmed and corroborated by various sources. The names not listed in bold are strong leads that require continued investigation to definitively confirm their service and ethnicity. This may be the largest repository of API servicemen in existence, but it is not comprehensive. There are likely more servicemen who have been discovered by other researchers, and still others whose stories have yet to be recovered.

  • Blockade Runners2
    CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM Adapted in English by Gerald Hawkins ERRATUM In the first part of this article, an unfortunate mistake appeared on page 19 regarding the average number of violations of the blockade. In the French version of this article, I cited F. Owsley’s statistics on the probabilities that the blockade runners had of being captured from 1861 to 1865. In the English version, I modified the sentence relating the successful violations of the blockade, but I forgot to change the statistics that should have been inverted. Many thanks to the hawk eye of Mr. Kevin J. Foster, Chief Historian of the National Park Service, Washington D.C., who detected this error. In early 1863, Bulloch had suggested to the Secretary of the Navy Mallory that the Government build its own fleet of fast light draft blockade runners to escape the “killing prices on private steamers”. In his letter of November 25, 1863, to the same, he recalls his former suggestion and adds: “If the Navy Department would take blockade runner business into its own hands, it might soon have a fleet of formidable swift steamers at work, so constructed as to have their engines and boilers well protected (...) The beams and decks of the steamers could be made of sufficient strength to bear heavy deck loads without exciting suspicion (...) When two or three of the vessels happened to be in harbour at the same time, a few hours would suffice to mount a couple of heavy guns on each, and at night or at early dawn, a successful raid might be upon the unsuspecting blockaders (...) After a raid or cruise, the vessels could be divested of every appliance of war, and (...) could bring out cargoes of cotton to pay the expenses of the cruise, or 52 to increase the funds of the Government abroad”.
