It's a Kalem film, which means firstly that it isn't quite up to the standards of the movies being made at Biograph (mostly by Griffith), and secondly that it shows women in a strong, positive light. Here we have two heroines on opposing sides during the Civil War, one of whom foils the plot of the other to destroy the unarmed Confederate Ironclad. An ending designed to appeal to both parties in the war severely weakens what is an otherwise commendable action movie.
