| Description: | In 1861, two Confederate diplomats were travelling to Europe on a British steamer on a mission to raise support for their cause when the vessel was stopped on the high seas by a Union naval vessel. They were removed from the British ship and arrested. The high-handed nature of the episode caused a major diplomatic scandal between Britain and the Americans and threatened to bring them to war alongside the Confederates. Cooler heads prevailed and the Confederate diplomats were released. Ironically, their mission to Europe proved fruitless. [Suggest a different description.] |
