On This Day In Canadian History...

1861 - Union Captain Charles Wilkes of the USS San Jacinto stops the British mail steamer Trent in the old Bahama Channel (off Cuba), removing two Confederate diplomats en route to Europe. With the threat of war, Lord John Russell wrote to Palmerston that we may now expect 40 or 50,000 Federal troops to invade Canada; there were only 4,300 British regulars in Canada, 2,100 of them stationed in Nova Scotia. The War Office immediately orders eighteen British transport ships loaded with men, arms and supplies to Canada.
