Potter's Raid was a military operation conducted by Confederate States troops under the command of Brigadier General Clarence Potter, C.S.A. Its goal was to smuggle via subterfuge a superbomb into the heart of Philadelphia, the capital of the United States of America. The raid was an outstanding tactical success for the Confederate States; the western side of Philadelphia was destroyed, and all the raiders, who were wearing US uniforms and thus could be executed as spies if captured, made it back to the CSA. However it failed in its objective of decapitating the US government, and did nothing to alter the strategic picture for the CSA. The USA still won the war a few months later on July 14, 1944.
