The Trent Affair - Charles Francis Adams - Bog

""The Trent Affair: An Historical Retrospect"" is a book written by Charles Francis Adams that delves into the historical event known as the Trent Affair. The Trent Affair was a diplomatic incident that occurred during the American Civil War, in which a Union warship intercepted a British mail steamer and removed two Confederate diplomats who were on their way to Europe to seek support for the Confederacy. The incident caused a major crisis in Anglo-American relations, with Britain threatening to go to war with the United States. In this book, Adams provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the Trent Affair, the incident itself, and its aftermath. He also examines the various diplomatic efforts made by both sides to resolve the crisis, and the impact that the incident had on the course of the Civil War and on Anglo-American relations.
