	NWC Review, Winter 2001: Surdam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Confederacy’s enhanced purchasing power would have enabled it to purchase greater amounts of war materiel and to ship such supplies through the still relatively weak blockade, at lower transportation costs than were incurred later in the war.
		Because the Confederacy suffered major defeats in the western theater during early 1862, European enthusiasm for intervention and recognition diminished, and the Europeans were more willing to tighten their neutrality rules when pressed by Washington.
		Unfortunately for the Confederacy, the recurrent hopes of purchasing ironclads in Europe may have delayed the eventual decision to build ironclads domestically; the two ironclads at New Orleans were authorized only in September 1861, after the attempts to purchase European-built warships failed.

		He said, "The existing Confederacy does not sufficiently provide against this evil."[cxiii] The inability to follow treaties, not to mention the other diplomatic flaws of the Articles of Confederation, weakened the national character of the Confederacy, exposing the country's weakness and inability to carry out its threats against the corsairs.
		This failed response left the Confederacy "a prey to every nation which [had] an interest in speculating on her fluctuating councils and embarrassed affairs."[cxviii] The Barbary corsairs were certainly no exception.
