Something else that occurs to me is actually whether the Union is going to try and commission privateers.
This is distinct from "would it be a good idea" - for international relations it would not be, and the number of guns available might not make it all that practical for there to be large numbers of them, not when the guns could go to coastal defence. But historically the Union threatened to commission privateers later in the war, and so I feel it should at least be raised as an issue.
