Slide13

CONFEDERATE BLOCKADE RUNNER

Slide14

The Union Blockade – DESCRIBE IT!

Early in war, not enough Union

ships (

26), so the Union

pours millions into building new

blockade ships.

Ships that tried to evade the blockade, known as

blockade runners

(650), were privately-owned, newly built, high-speed ships with small cargo capacity.

Slide15

The Union Blockade

Those ship owners that were able to

break the blockade line made a

FORTUNE!

Est. $200 mil. worth of merchandise and supplies made it through the blockade by end of war

Slide16

The Union Blockade – Evaluate it

At first 5/6 attempts to slip through the blockade were successful; by 1864, only

1/2

were

successful.Confederate

cotton exports were reduced by 95%.

OUCH! THAT HURTS, YO!

Slide17

The Union Blockade

Blockade causes prices of goods to dramatically increase in the South and makes certain items impossible to get.

Bacon = $6.60 (2010= $116)

butter = $2.00 a pound (2010 = $35)

tea = $7.00 a pound (2010 = $123)

. Was it a Political or Military

Strategy?

Slide21

King Cotton Diplomacy – Describe it!

Southern leaders believed that

British and French textile mills couldn’t function without the South’s cotton.

France and Great Britain would be forced to help the South break the blockade to get the cotton they needed.

Factories in France and England

Cotton Supply

Slide22

DoES THE CONFEDERACY get the help IT needS?

Slide23

King Cotton Diplomacy – Evaluate it!

Instead of England and France supporting the South in the war, they turn to cotton markets in India and Egypt.

HA! HA!

Slide24

BUT WHY?

Slide25

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SOUND RIGHT?

1.) Surplus of cotton in England = we don’t need your

stinkin

’ cotton!

2.) Not wanting to get involved in US affairs

= maybe we won’t get pulled into war ourselves

3.) The outcome of the

Battle of Antietam

= The North laid out a mighty butt-whooping on the Confederacy AND announced the

Emancipation Proclamation

…its

gotta

’ be over for the Confederacy.
