The Confederate Congress had authorized $3 million for the purchase of warships, two of the three million was allocated for ironclads. Confederate Naval secretary Stephen Mallory sent Lieutenant James North to Europe to try and buy an ironclad much like the French class of ironclads of the Gloire Class that France built in 1858. North did not succeed so Mallory decided to build ironclads in the South.
