Confederate Montreal 1861-1865

From: Montreal, City of Secrets

$4.80

In the years 1861-1865, and indeed for some time following the Civil War, hundreds of Confederate exiles, soldiers, blockade runners, and agents flocked to Montreal. They formed a distinct community in exile, welcomed into the upper crust of Montreal society. This chapter explores their settlement and perception of this new community within the city, as well as highlights some key figures who settled in Montreal and their activities and impacts. It also touches on the turning point of the Trent Crisis, traces more of the evolution of the Confederate Secret Service in Canada, and discusses the Confederacy Shifts Strategy (1864) and its impact/implications.
