Scotland and the Confederate Army.

I have wondered where the confederacy obtained the cannons and other armaments for the rebellion. I did not think the Tredegar works in Richmond were large enough. Did the British factories also supply rifles and pistols to the rebels?


Where was the iron works in Mississippi? If it was on the Big River that explains Grant's use of the Navy on the Mississippi. One of our first uses of a Brown Water Navy.

Perhaps it's the spirit of secession that's sweeping the UK?

Must be in the blood! Or perhaps fans of Dukes of Hazard
