Iv'e always wondered this. As the South's biggest sea port, you'd think that they would've commited more men and resources to that area of the war. Did they really think Forts Jackson and St.Phillip were enough? I know they had that floating boat chain to block ships (which actually wasnt a bad idea,) why not put multiple rows of boat chains? I knows there was alot of infighting between privateers, local milita, and the CS navy, but even with all that I'm of the opinion that Farragut and Co. shouldn't have slipped by so easy.
The Rebs missed alot naval opputunities in the ACW. Is hindsight just 2020, or did the Rebs completely blow it?
