Abstract:

In March of 1864, a dispute between Confederate Army and Navy authorities in the Department of the Cape Fear led to an armed confrontation on the Wilmington waterfront. Though the incident ended without bloodshed, the animosity lingered and had a significant negative effect on the Confederate defense of the Lower Cape Fear in 1865.
