	Fort Delaware - History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Fort Delaware was originally conceived to be five times the size of any existing American fort; in order for this great fort to stand, much work needed to be done.
		Fort Delaware was a logical choice for prisoner confinement - it was remote enough to hinder escape, strong enough to withstand any attack by the weak Southern navy, and near enough to the Southern states to facilitate the business of prisoner exchange.
		Fort Delaware's place in history was assured...not as the site of a brave stand in battle, as originally conceived, but as an infamous prison for the unfortunate flotsam of America's bloodiest war.
