{"product_id":"9781596296657","title":"The Battle of Port Royal","description":"\u003cbr\u003eNovember 1861. The South was winning the Civil War. Fort Sumter had fallen to the Confederates. The Federal army was routed at Manassas. The blockade of Southern ports was a farce; commerce and weapons flowed almost as freely as before the war. There were stirrings of interest from foreign powers in recognizing the Confederacy and brokering a forced peace accord. The Federals needed to turn the tide. The largest fleet ever assembled by the United States set its sights on the South Carolina coast for this much-needed victory. On November 7, 1861, this mighty weapon of war engaged two undermanned and outgunned forts in Hilton\u003cbr\u003eHead in a clash called the Battle of Port Royal. Join historian Michael Coker as he tells the story of this largely forgotten battle, a pivotal turning point in the war that defined our nation.","brand":"History Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035606008048,"sku":"9781596296657","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781596296657_p0.jpg?v=1769901737","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781596296657","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
