Author David Eicher describes accurately and thoroughly the weaknesses and fallibility of the Confederacy and its major figures. He quotes a delegate to the Confederate Congress in May 1861 summarizing the task before it with : "With no treasury at command or machinery of government to raise & collect money, no national existence where credit can be pledged to get money & if it existed no credit upon which to raise it, no commerce to pay duties, no custom house system to give commerce a start, no way to protect it & no merchant marine with which to carry it on, no army to hold the ports on our seaboard, no postal arrangements for conducting intelligence & all these wants in the face of apparently determined policy on the part of the old government to act quickly in seizing & closing our ports & curtting off our mail facilities I feel like I was called on to juild a great edifice in a short time wihout any tools or materials to work with."
