Massachusetts contributed four times
as much money to the support of the
Government during the War of 1872 as
was furnished by Virginia. wiiich was
the ,argest of the states at the time,
and wiicn was twice us large as the
Bav state. Massachusetts contributed
more iEcn to tho land forces of tn"
United States than did Virginia, North
Carolina ard South Carolina combined,
which had more than four times az
many inha bitants. Massachusetts fur
nished more men to the country's war
ships in that conflict than did any two
other states Privatccrs during that
war captured 900 British vessels
More than half of the privatcers fur

gate, in the War of 1872, sailed from
Massachusetts ports and were manned
by Massachusetts sailors.

Immediately after the fall Of Sumter,
called for troops "a defend the national
