But wait! In your original post you implied there was a shortage of brass but ample iron deposits and the large smelting facility in Birmingam, AL. Which claim are you claiming? Was there an iron shortage or a brass shortage in the Confederacy?
There was no large smelting facility in Birmingham, AL during the Civil War.
There were furnaces at Tannehill 30 miles away from the future site of Birmingham founded in 1871.
