Comm. J D Bulloch CSN.

Welcome to When Liverpool Was Dixie.

ever expanding the story of
Commander James Dunwoody Bulloch, CSN.

The amazing and true story, of events in Europe, and particularly in Merseyside, England. Events that, it would be true to say, certainly lengthened the war, as the ships of Europe, helped the South to survive, for much longer than many had expected.

SITE OBJECTIVE

The objective of this site is to tell the true story of what happened, here in England, in those turbulent years of 1861 to 1865. How James Dunwoody Bulloch, at times almost singlehandedly, provided the Confederate States with three of the most famous commerce raiders in history. One of which, the CSS Alabama, became the most succesful such raider of all time, her feats will surely never be equalled or surpassed.
Bulloch was also the man responsible for the largest single delivery of arms into the South, in October of 1861, as well as having built 33 blockade runners, and purchased many more.

Unfortunately there is now a tragic side to this story, Commander Bulloch lies in a "foreign field" forgotten by most of his countrymen, yet there are those who rightly say that this man earned the right to stand alongside Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, in the Confederate Hall Of Fame.
