so, sitting out in new york harbor were troops, the navy the ships, and much more than the largest city in america. it really looked like a city out at sea. it required virtually every ship in the british merchant royal navy to get them out here. and they brought more troops than had been requested, either by the commander in canada, or the commander in new york. it was the only time in the war they had more at disposal than they thought they needed. germane's strategy was simple. he wanted a knockout blow against washington in 1776. he argued that you needed to engage washington's army and crush it very early on while you had all of this superiority and strength. for him, his commanders were culpable. ultimately he blamed the commander in canada much more than the commander in new york for being too concerned trying to negotiate peace treaties than actually winning the war. most historians have said that 1776 was the best opportunity to win it. he became the commander and chief in the second half of the war. he, too, has only one biography. it happens to be a very good one. one that wa

galveston at the time, in 1860 was the largest city in texas. it had it had the largest population. it was one of the two commercial centers of texas, and it was the primary seaport of texas. there were no rail connections between texas and the rest of the united states in 1860. you could not get on a train in texas and travel to the other parts of country. and so texas was, texas' primary link to the rest of the united states or after 1861 to the rest of the confederacy was by sea. and galveston was the best natural harbor on the texas coast, and galveston was the large city. and so a lot of everything that involved trade and later blockade running went through galveston for the most part. and other small ports along the texas coast, but galveston was the primary one. even before the confederates fired on fort sumter in april of 1861 in charleston, the union was preparing and thinking about what happens if this becomes, if secession becomes a shooting war. and one of the things that they considered was creating -- establishing a blockade of southern ports. the idea of a blockade is

galveston was the largest city. so a lot of -- everything involved trade and blockade running, went through galveston for the most part and other small ports along the texas coast. galveston was the primary. even before the confederates fired on fort sumter in april of 1861 in charleston the union was preparing and thinking about what happens if this becomes -- if secession becomes a shooting war. one of the things they considered was establishing a blockade of southern ports. the idea of a blockade is an old traditional technique used in warfare to blockade an enemy court to keep ships and vessels from coming in and out, prevent the enemy from getting support from outside. the union union forces declared a blockade on april 19, 1861. that was two days after jefferson davis declared the confederates would authorize privateers to go after union shipping which is itself an act of war but the union blockade was declared in april of 1861. the idea was the federalists would position war ships around the confederate coast
