NOTES
CHAPTER ONE: “I’VE BEEN TURNED INTO A COMPLETE AMERICAN NOW”
1. USS Catskill, Passaic class monitor, 200x46x11ft 6in, 1x15-in., 1x11-in. smoothbore Dahlgrens, 1,335 tons, commissioned 2-63. Angus Konstam, Duel of the Ironclads (London: Osprey Publishing, 2003), p. 93.
2. HMS Buzzard, Wood paddle sloop, 185x34ft, 6 guns, 980 bm, built Pembroke Dockyard 24.3.1849. J.J. Colledge, Ships of the Royal Navy (London: Greenhill Books, 2003), p. 63.
3. Originally named Gosport Naval Yard, this huge naval base was located at the city of Norfolk, Virginia. Early in the war it was renamed Norfolk Naval Yard.
4. During the Ice Age when the sea level was 150-200 feet lower, what is now the Chesapeake Bay was the river valley of the Susquehanna River.
5. Originally named the Gosport Navy Yard, it was renamed the Norfolk Navy Yard as the Civil War progressed.
6. During the Age of Sail, corvettes were smaller than frigates and larger than sloops-of-war, usually with a single gun deck and having more than twenty guns, usually in the case of the Royal Navy at this time twenty to twenty-two guns. A British sloop-of-war at this time with a single gun deck that carried up to eighteen guns. Gunboats usually carried one to five guns.
7. The issue of who actually started the war became something of a cottage industry in both countries after the war. The issue was definitely discussed in Peter G. Tsouras, Britannia’s Fist: From Civil War Became World War (Washington, DC: Potomac Books, 2008).
8. *Gilbert A. Allen, Slavery and the Confederacy (New York: The Century Co., 1899), pp. 199–203. With secession the Confederacy considered it no longer bound by the constitutional provision that ended the importation of slaves and eagerly opened its ports to slave ships now easily slipping through the denuded Royal Navy force that had suppressed it. The resumption of the importation of slaves by the Confederacy was an enormous embarrassment to the Disraeli government, which made it clear to Jefferson Davis that continuance of the practice could and would endanger military and economic cooperation. Davis was not impressed with the threat. The British needed the Confederacy as a co-belligerent.
