CSS Louisiana
The Louisiana, under Commander C.F. McIntosh, along with other ships of the Confederate Navy and the forts themselves sought to defend the passage to New Orleans. The intention of the North was to take New Orleans in order to have a greater advantage in fulfilling the Anaconda Plan. The Anaconda Plan was a Yankee strategy to envelop the Confederacy by way of control of the Mississippi River and the oceans surrounding the Confederacy.
CSS Louisiana at a Glance
CSS Louisiana was an ironclad ship of the Confederate States Navy built to aid in defending the lower Mississippi River from invasion by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She took part in one major action of the war, the Battle of Forts Jackson and St. Philip, and when that ended disastrously for the Confederacy, she was destroyed by her crew.
