Description

Confederate service, Confederate propaganda.

Although now not born within the South (Zurich, Switzerland, 1834), Henry Hotze’s devotion to the reason for the Confederacy used to be as ardent as that of any native secessionist. As a member of the Mobile Cadets, an elite volunteer company of the Gulf City, Hotze used to be ordered to Virginia in the beginning of war as a part of the Third Alabama Regiment. He distinguished himself in many ways, primarily off the battlefield as a clerk and European go-between. In November of 1861, he used to be appointed to the location of Commercial Agent at London by C.S.A. Secretary of State R.M.T. Hunter, who instructed him to take the heart beat of the English public on Confederate sentiment and to publish articles there that might cast the Confederacy in a favorable light. These articles gave the impression first in The Index, the newspaper that Hotze established in London, and reveal Hotze’s skill as both a reporter and a propagandist for the Confederacy.
