By the earliest days of the US Civil War, the Confederate government acted immediately to nationalize almost all of the productive power of existing manufactures. If not actually nationalizing companies, they placed them under government contract. For example the Tredegar Iron Works that produced the CSS Virginia's iron plate protection was under Confederate contract. Two important tools also strengthened the government's hand in the economy. One was the conscription acts which allowed for the exemption of skilled workers, and the imposition of public domain over rail transportation.
