When Liverpool Was Dixie

SITE OBJECTIVE

The objective of this site is to tell the true story of what happened, here in England, in those turbulent years of 1861 to 1865. How James Dunwoody Bulloch, at times almost singlehandedly, provided the Confederate States with three of the most famous commerce raiders in history. One of which, the CSS Alabama, became the most succesful such raider of all time, her feats will surely never be equalled or surpassed.
Bulloch was also the man responsible for the largest single delivery of arms into the South, in October of 1861, as well as havung built 33 blockade runners, and purchased many more.

Unfortunately there is now a tragic side to this story, Commander Bulloch lies in a "foreign field" forgotten by most of his countrymen, yet there are those who rightly say that this man earned the right to stand alongside Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, in the Confederate Hall Of Fame.

This site would never have been possible, with out the invaluable help and assistance of two wonderful ladies, Marilyn Cook of Louisiana and Annette Elam Wetzel of Richmond,I am forever in your debt dear friends, and you will both remain forever in my heart, Thank you, for everything. My most grateful thank also to Bob Jones, a Liverpool historian, who is quite magnificent in his ferreting out of information, and also to Penny McMillan, of Georgia, USA, who kept me going when my spirit waned. And last but not least, the man who started me out on all this,"REB", Mr Les Johnson, of Skelmersdale, England.

If I live to be 150, I will never be able to thank you enough Les.
