CLICK PHOTO TWICE TO VIEW VIDEO This issue deals with the Chesapeake Bay. From the beginning of the Civil War, Chesapeake Bay was one of America’s most important water bodies. The capitals of both the Confederacy and the United States sat next to Bay rivers: Richmond, Virginia, is on the James River, and Washington, D.C., is on the Potomac River. Because of its close distance to both capitals, the Bay and its rivers played an important role in many Civil War battles. Huge armies prowled around Maryland and Virginia throughout the entire war. Access to the Bay meant the ability to receive shipped goods, quickly transport troops from one point to another, and threaten the enemy with strikes deep into their territory. President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the blockade in April 1861, and the first campaign occurred in May and June 1861. This issue is in very good condition for a paper that is 135 years old. This paper has marks, tears, foxing on edges and the front and back page is split from age. The paper is off white and needs to be treated as if it was 135 years old because it is.
