In the 'War lietwoon the State-." the duties of the I 'niifedeai te X.ivv were: First, to protect tin" ports of the Sooth from the I'nion fleets; second, i harass the Northern commerce mi the high seas, and third, to rim the blockade with ci ton an.l utiier raw materials and take them to foreign port-, exchanging i he.se for dry goods, rum. medicine and other supplies so needed by the Soutii, and to again run the blockade hack int , port. Early in the Civil War Aliraham Lin coln proclaimed the Southern ports in a state of hlockade, and fleets of ships were sent to enforce this decree by Pres ident Lincoln. The tirst naval hat tie of the war was fought near the month of the Mississippi, and resulted in the defeat of the Federal fleet by the Confederates.

The Confederate Navy, with such a small amount of supplies, with almost no navy vards, with few mechanics, and with little money, nevertheless protected the South from invasion, and supplied it with the necessary foreign products in such a way that it has won undv iuir fame for it sell and the Southland.
