The Trent Affair. The Confederate warship CSS Nashville transferred two Confederate dimplomats and their staff to the Trent, a British mail packet en route to England. Later the Trent was stopped and boarded by the Union warship USS San Jacinto, and the Confederates were arrested. They were later released, but as they were taken from a British vessel at sea, the British government was outraged. (TRENT AFFIAIR)
The Trent Affair, also known as the Mason and Slidell Affair.
This affair brought Britain to the verge of war with the United States. The Maritimes and the Canadas realized that they might very well become a battleground, they wanted to join together (create the Confederation) to become stronger in battle.
The Trent Affair occurred in November of 1861 when an American ship boarded an English and took off two Confederate diplomats. It very nearly led to war with Great Britain.
