The Other Major Anderson - NYTimes.com

Robert Anderson and Joseph Reid Anderson had more in common than a surname. Though not kin, both men were Southerners by birth and educated in the North, at West Point. The two even dined together in early 1861 at Fort Sumter, where Robert Anderson led the Union forces under siege. But when Robert Anderson and his men came under fire a few weeks later, the first shell was launched from a mortar manufactured by Joseph Anderson, the man who came to be known as the “Ironmaker of the Confederacy.”

Joseph Reid Anderson first joined the Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond, Va., at age 28 as the company’s commercial agent, eventually leasing and then purchasing the expanding plant. Ideally situated between the James River and Kanawha Canal, the foundry grew under Anderson’s direction to supply the military and Southern states with ordnance, ships, locomotives, rail bridges and machinery. The firm also produced mills and engines of various sorts for individual plantations.

When the secession crisis broke out, the pro-slavery, pro-South Anderson hoped Tredegar could prove to be one of the Confederacy’s most valuable assets. But that would only happen if Virginia seceded, which as late as the beginning of April, it seemed unlikely to do. But Anderson’s efforts as the crisis erupted into war reveal conflicts between his pro-slavery, pro-Confederate principles and his quest for profit.

For Anderson, politics and profit were always intermingled. With labor, raw materials and markets for ironmaking concentrated in the Northeast, Tredegar was the only factory of its scale in the region, a regional anomaly in with Anderson long capitalized. Throughout the 1840s and ’50s, he lobbied Virginia for protective tariffs on ironmaking. Anderson marketed his products aggressively throughout the South; weekly ads in one Charleston newspaper in 1850 stressed Tredegar’s value as a “Southern Iron Works” that “Employed Slave Labor,” an emphasis intended to attract business from like-minded leaders across the region.

Through much of his tenure at Tredegar, he served first on Richmond’s city council and then in Virginia’s state legislature. He began as a Whig, but joined the Democratic Party in 1856, afraid that Whigs would not protect Southern economic interests, especially slavery.

But Anderson’s business interests and political beliefs didn’t always align. In the aftermath of John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry, Anderson vowed not to favor any Northern suppliers with his hard-earned capital — until it became clear that Tredegar’s unending need for machinery, raw materials and labor gave him little choice over whether to continue to patronize Northern sources. And despite publicly extolling his own use of “slave labor,” Anderson found he could not do without skilled white workers, even though they challenged his otherwise tight control over the factory. Many of them were Northern- or foreign-born, with Irish puddlers, Welsh heaters and English rollers supported by German and Irish workers in unskilled positions.
