Bahamas and the American Civil War (original) (raw)
Багамские Острова, как часть Британской империи официально не принимали участия в Гражданской войне в США. Как и в эпоху пиратов, Багамские острова были пристанищем для мошенников, перебежчиков, контрабандистов. Несмотря на то, что Флорида находится всего в 55 милях от страны, в то время в штате было несколько портов, взятых в блокаду Союзом. Следовательно, контрабандисты совершали свои поездки из Нассау в Чарлстон (Южная Каролина) — крупнейший порт Конфедерации на Атлантическом побережье.

| dbo:abstract | Despite being a territory of the British Empire, the Bahamas was affected by the American Civil War. Much as it was during the Golden Age of Piracy, the Bahamas was a haven for swashbucklers and blockade runners that were aligned with the Confederate States. Although Florida is only 55 miles away, the state then had few ports of any real consequence and so blockade runners would make their trips from Nassau to Charleston, South Carolina, the largest Confederate port on the East Coast. Grand Bahama Island had a decreasing population in the 19th century because of Nassau, but after the Civil War began in 1861, Grand Bahama Island's population doubled because of the blockade runners' actions. Nassau was also altered by the war. The first blockade runner docked there on December 5, 1861. By the end of the war, 397 ships sailed from the Confederacy to Nassau, and 588 went from Nassau to the Confederacy. Nassau imports were valued at £234,029, and its exports were worth £157,350. In 1864, at the pinnacle of trade from the Confederacy to Nassau, imports were valued at £5,346,112 and exports at £4,672,398. Asa Blockade runners would take cotton from Charleston to Nassau, a trip of 560 miles with 48 hours of sailing. As the Union had blockaded all Confederate ports, blockade runners had to be fast. They traded cotton at Nassau for British goods, with the cotton eventually finding its way to British cotton mills. After the end of the war, the Bahamas fell into hard times and would not recover from until another period of American turmoil. During American Prohibition, Scotch whisky was exported illegally to the United States. Like the end of the Civil War, the end of Prohibition also ended the fortunes of the Bahamas. A considerable number of Bahamians can trace their ancestry back to Southerners who left America before and during the war. (en) Pur essendo un territorio dell'Impero britannico, le Bahamas vennero coinvolte nella guerra civile americana. Come durante l', le Bahamas era il paradiso dei contrabbandieri e dei violatori di blocco che erano alleati degli Stati Confederati d'America. Anche se la Florida era a sole 55 miglia di distanza, lo stato aveva alcuni porti e pertanto i violatori di blocco potevano facilmente portarsi da Nassau a , il più grande porto confederato sulla East Coast. L'isola di Grand Bahama aveva visto la popolazione locale scendere nel corso dell'Ottocento, ma dopo la guerra civile americana nel 1861, la sua popolazione quasi raddoppiò, attirata dagli scambi continui e illeciti che qui venivano perpetrati. Nassau venne anche cambiata dalla guerra. Il primo violatore di blocco attraccò qui il 5 dicembre 1861. Con la fine della guerra, furono 397 le navi salpate dagli stati confederati verso Nassau, e 588 quelle da Nassau verso la Confederazione. Con la guerra, Nassau importò per 234.029 sterline ed esportò per 157.350. Nel 1864, al culmine del commercio tra la Confederazione e Nassau, le importazioni giunsero a 5.346.112 sterline e le importazioni a 4.672.398. I violatori di blocco erano soliti prendere il cotone da Charleston per portarlo a Nassau, un viaggio di 560 miglia per quasi 48 ore di viaggio. Dal momento che l'Unione nordista aveva bloccato tutti i porti dei confederati, i violatori dovevano essere veloci. Essi erano soliti scambiare a Nassau il cotone con beni d'importazione inglesi, col cotone poi indirizzato verso la madrepatria per il funzionamento dell'industria tessile locale. Dopo la fine della guerra, le Bahamas dovettero affrontare tempi duri e non si ripresero facilmente. Durante il proibizionismo in America, ancora una volta furono un porto sicuro per i trafficanti di scotch whisky verso gli Stati Uniti. Come per la guerra civile, anche la fine del proibizionismo compromise le fortune delle Bahamas.
