What happened during the chesapeake incident in the early 1800s?
The Chesapeake Incident happened on December 7, 1863 when a group of confederates took the USS Chesapeake, a Northern ship doing a trade run from New York to Portland. The Southern hijackers wished to sell the Chesapeake's cargo, purchase armaments, and then transform the Chesapeake into a privateer in order to intercept and attack merchant ships from the North. Though they did reach British territorial waters off the coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, they were captured by two Northern warships on 16 December in St. Margaret's Bay in Nova Scotia. The ships searched a Nova Scotian fishing trolley for possible refugees. These actions employed by the North and South seriously violated British neutrality. The event badly affected the future of each of the colonies as it had a serious affect on the thoughts for confederation. This event, combined with the St. Alban's Raid, helped push Canada to confederation.
