In this episode, Chris Calton details how technological innovations changed the course of naval warfare. By taking advantage of this new technology, the Union Navy was able to easily capture Hatteras Inlet and Port Royal Sound, which would prove strategically important in the establishment of their blockade.

Chris Calton recounts the controversial history of the Civil War. This is the 35th episode in the third season of Historical Controversies. You may support this podcast financially at Mises.org/SupportHC.
