In late April, 1861, Union forces burned or sunk all the ships in their Norfolk, Virginia shipyards. This was an important navy base because of its location at the mouth of the James River. The Union believed this base was unable to be defended. They then abandoned Norfolk and the Confederates quickly took charge of the base.
Norfolk, Virginia had been a lucky break for the Confederates. When the Union navy evacuated the port they had left valuable supplies, cannon and ammunition. They also left the sunken USS Merrimac in the harbor. This enabled the South to rebuild the sunken hull and covert it into an ironclad. On June 2, 1862, McClellan's forces began to advance westward on the peninsula. This made Norfolk impossible to hold. The Rebels had to retreat, and Norfolk was the docking port for the CSS Virginia. With no place to sail, she was destroyed in the harbor
Early in the US Civil War, the Confederacy too good advantage of the North's abandonment of the Norfolk, Virginia's naval base. They confiscated ammunition, cannons and raised the USS Merrimack into the CSS Virginia. The naval base would again change hands. In early May of 1862, McClellan's Peninsula campaign forces were finally making some headway towards their objective, Richmond, Virginia. This caused the Confederates to abandon the navy base that they had taken earlier when the North evacuated Norfolk. Losing this base was a set back for the South. It also meant that the CSS Virginia would no longer have a home port. Just as they had created the CSS Virginia from a scuttled Merrimack, the rebels had no choice to now destroy the ship lest it fall into Union hands.
This caused Virginia to become a confederate state and fight with the south in the Civil war.
