Why the Monitor Did Not Pursue the Merrimac
The piece argues that after the Monitor’s victory over the Merrimac, a pursuit to Norfolk was blocked by the Confederates who hardened their defenses and prepared obstacles. They sunk the ship in five minutes if needed, laid channels and mines, and arranged means to trap pursuers, making retreat and possible pursuit too dangerous. The narrator laments the missed opportunity and warns that Confederate ingenuity could have caused substantial losses for the Union.
