Confederate President Jefferson Davis was asked by the Confederate Congress what he believed were important military requirements. Davis wanted to increase the South's military forces by 300,000 troops and have fifty ironclads for harbor and river defense. He also wanted at least ten new raider warships to protect Confederate overseas commerce.
