National armories and foundries a wartime imperative
A congressional speech argues for establishing national armories and foundries west of the Alleghenies to supply the U.S. with arms, reduce dependence on private contractors, and protect coastlines amid Civil War threats. It cites Napoleon, warns against overreliance on foreign or private sources, and urges a centralized, affordable production system.
