Refusing to take a loyalty oath to the Union, on May 18, 1863, Henri Garidel left occupied New Orleans for Richmond, intending to eventually join his wife, Elodie, and some of his children in Italy. It was a decision that he later came to regret. After two unsuccessful attempts to use Confederate money to book passage to Europe on a blockade runner out of Wilmington, North Carolina, Garidel realized that he was trapped in Richmond.
