Box 60267 New Orleans, LA 70160-0267 Fort Jackson during the Civil War Pages 48-74 By: Donald G. Hunter and Sally K. Reeves New Orleans, situated near the mouth of the Mississippi River, was the South’s largest city, the seat of commerce for the western states, and the Confederacy’s leading industrial center. Therefore, the defense of the city was necessary for the survival of the rebellion. Military strategists on both sides realized that the capture of New Orleans would be required to gain control of the Mississippi and, subsequently divide the Confederacy. Fort Jackson and St. Philip were regarded as the primary defensive fortifications guarding New Orleans. The other water approaches to the city, protected by Forts Pike, Livingston, and Macomb, were generally too shallow for large naval craft to navigate. If the Union Navy was to launch an assault against New Orleans from the Gulf of Mexico, it would first have to pass Forts Jackson and St. Philip. Under the direction of Louisiana Governor Thomas O. Moore, both Forts Jackson and St. Philip were seized by state troops on 10 January 1861, some 16 days prior to Louisiana’s secession from the Union. Forces under the command of Major Paul E. -

Mulford Associate Professor of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT During the four years of the American Civil War, the twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History, mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized, officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to the front. It was a four-year progression that required the simultaneous participation of legislative action, military administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole. -
Surfing the Waves: Scottish Admirals in Russia in Their Baltic Context
Suring the Waves: Scottish Admirals in Russia in their Baltic Context Steve Murdoch It has long been established, and frequently reafirmed, that the origins of the Russian navy and her distinctive Saltire insignia can be traced back to the inal years of General Patrick Gordon in his guise as Rear Admiral of the Russian navy.1 There is no doubt that after Gordon’s participation in Russia’s irst tentative naval manoeuvres off of Archangel in 1694, and the irst real amphibious operation against Azov in 1696 (in which Gordon had reverted to a land role), the Romanov dynasty attracted a notable presence of Scottish naval oficers to their cause.2 This reached something of a crescendo during the reign of Catherine the Great. Indeed, we ind that among the oficer class in the Russian navy during the eighteenth century there were admirals of all classes, as well as ships’ captains, lieutenants and numerous other oficers and men.3 Impressive as the sheer numbers of Scottish admirals in Russian service is, there is seldom an opportunity to see them in the context of wider maritime migration. And this is crucial, for without such an overview, we could ind ourselves constructing one of those uncritical histories which might over-celebrate the importance of these men and the relevance of their migration to Russia. That is not to say that they are not to be celebrated, or indeed that they were not important. It simply reiterates the obvious historical point which requires us to take a step back and view our subject matter in a different way.
