Portion of title | John Yates Beall and the rebel raids on the Great Lakes |
Abstract | "Unable to achieve sustained military success in the Civil War, the Confederacy tried a daring strategy in 1864-commando-style raids into northern states from Canada. Taking advantage of the undefended border, rebels hit targets along the Great Lakes, where growing antiwar sentiment was an election-year problem for the Lincoln administration. Revisiting one of the forgotten chapters of the Civil War, this deeply-researched history covers the South's operations in Canada. One of the most significant raids is covered in detail for the first time: Virginia planter turned Confederate agent John Yates Beall's attempt to liberate 2,700 Confederate officers from a prison camp on Lake Erie."-- Provided by publisher. |
