Description
This study examines the life and career of Admiral David G. Farragut. Specifically, this paper addresses the primary question: Why was Farragut chosen to command the West Gulf Blockading Squadron? This study seeks to establish the criteria used in Farragut's selection. This thesis breaks down the criteria into three areas. First, the study examines significant events in Farragut's career leading up to his selection. Second, this study analyzes Farragut's loyalty to the Union and its effect on his selection. Last, Farragut's political and family connections are examined to determine their effect on his selection. Research shows that career performance and seniority, loyalty to country, and political connections were all factors in Farragut's appointment to command. By analyzing these factors and the selection process, this study contributes to the knowledge and understanding of how commanders were appointed during the Civil War.
