To wage this multifaceted war, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles divided the Union Navy into six squadrons. The book examines who Welles assigned to squadron command and why he appointed these officers. Taaffe argues that President Abraham Lincoln gave Welles considerable latitude in picking squadron commanders. Lincoln not only trusted Welless judgment, but he also understood that the Navy was not as important to the Union war effort militarily and politically as the Army, so there was less of a need for him to oversee closely its operations. Welles used this authority to make appointments to squadron command based on several criteria. Welles factored into his mental calculations seniority, availability, and political connections, but he was most interested in an officers record, character, and abilities. Although some of Welless earliest selections left something to be desired, his insight improved markedly as the war continued and he gained a greater understanding of the Navy and its officer corps. Indeed, by the end of the conflict, Welles had become quite ruthless in his search for effective squadron commanders capable of filling the Navys increasingly difficult missions. In doing so, he contributed greatly to Union victory in the Civil War. The book covers some of the Civil Wars most important campaigns and battles, such as the Union assaults on New Orleans, Charleston, Mobile Bay, and Fort Fisher, and the fighting on the Mississippi River.</p>...3503351Commanding Lincolns Navy459638https://www.gandhi.com.mx/commanding-lincolns-navy-9781612515175/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3553069/d2a6ba09-79b0-4af5-8cda-96a1679aa295.jpg?v=638385541529670000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20099781612515175_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9781612515175_<p>The Union Navy played a vital role in winning the Civil War by blockading Confederate ports, cooperating with the Union Army in amphibious assaults, and controlling the Mississippi River and its tributaries. President Lincoln understood, however, that the Navy was not as important, militarily and politically, to the war effort as the Army, so he delegated authority to his Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles, who divided the Navy into six squadrons and hand-picked their commanders. This book examines Welles selections and why he appointed them. While noting that the officers records, character, and abilities were of primary importance, Taaffe acknowledges that political connections, seniority, and availability were also factored into the selections. He demonstrates that Welles appointments improved markedly as the war continued and as he gained a better understanding of the Navy and its officer corps.
