Title
Two Months in the Confederate States: Including a Visit to New Orleans Under the Domination of General Butler
Description
“This English merchant visited the Confederate States primarily to investigate the status of debts owed by Southerners to English and foreign merchants. Corsan took ship for New Orleans, where he spent a few days before making his way through the lines across Lake Pontchartrain and going by railroad to Jackson. MS, and on to Meridian and Mobile. From there he traveled by train to Montgomery, Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston, Wilmington, Petersburg, and Richmond, staying only a few days in each city. He was interested in the attitude of the people toward their new government and found amazing loyalty everywhere. There was no chance that the slaves would rise in servile insurrection, and their owners never feared such an eventuality. As a close-up view of economic and social conditions in the Confederacy
it is a reliable account.”
