While the raid resulted in wide-spread panic and property damage, no lives were lost in the attack, and it did nothing to change the outcome of the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite extensive coverage in the press, an international investigation, the trial and execution of a key Confederate plotter, and the terrifying parallels to the September 11th attacks, the incident has been largely forgotten. By retelling this captivating tale, this book will introduce readers to a little-known chapter of Civil War history and will expose how the increasingly desperate Confederate government turned to terrorism as a strategy during the final months of the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJ.
