Css Alabama facts
While investigating facts about Css Alabama, I found out little known, but curios details like:
A confederate commerce raider, CSS Alabama, was secretly built in Britain despite claiming neutrality during the American Civil War. A deal was struck between cotton traders in Liverpool and the South. The US Govt later sued the UK in 1862 for $15.5m.
The CSS Alabama, a Civil War era Confederate warship, whose exploits led to many mining claims being named after the ship by pro-Confederate prospectors in California. When sunk by the USS Kearsarge in 1864, pro-Union prospectors named a mountain pass, a peak, and a town after the Kearsarge.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 3 of the best facts about Css Alabama I managed to collect.
