| | The Confederate Navy 1861-1865 (Part 1) |
 | | English aid was one of the keys to Southern victory; however, the only way that the South would be able to obtain it was to prove that she was able to hold her own against the North. | | | There was one more flaw in the "cruiser theory" which was excellently stated by Mahan in his Influence of Sea Power on American History. | | | If, under the circumstances the Confederacy had attempted to stop, search, and/or sink these neutral vessels, then the South would have been risking war with a European power -- something that she could ill afford. |

| | On Feb. 4, 1861, delegates from these states (except the Texans, who were delayed) met at Montgomery, Ala., and organized a provisional government. | | | Davis and Stephens had been chosen without opposition to head it. | | | Their extreme states’ rights views represented a logical development of the theory that had led the Southern states to secede, but their insistence on maintaining these views at a time when unity was imperative was an added factor in the Confederate defeat. |
