Australians in the Civil War


Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

I read recently that a Confederate monitor once was in port in Melbourne during the Civil War.

 

Why it was stationed there, I have no idea.

 

I also read on line that there were some Australians who fought along side the Confederates

 

Could anyone shed some more light on this for me?

Intersting.

 

Here's two good sites on this.
