Summary:
This thesis examines blockade-running through Nassau during the American Civil War. The initial chapters examine the blockade of Confederate ports, and wartime blockade-running, 1861-1865. The concluding chapter summarizes the decline of blockade-running through Nassau. The argument of this thesis is that blockade-running through Nassau produced a tremendous increase in trade, with consequent increases in the price of consumer goods, in wages, and in the crime rate. With the decline of blockade-running, prices of commodities, wages, and the crime rate reverted to pre-Civil War conditions.
