CSS Alabama's South African Expeditionary Raid commenced shortly after the Confederate States Navy sloop CSS Alabama left Brazil and the south Atlantic Ocean and patrolled southward of the African continent near the Cape of Good Hope. The raid lasted from about the beginning of August 1863 to the end of September 1863.
