Text Any textual data included in the document Lancaster Ohio Dcr 28/61 Sir I write to express the opinion that a settlement of the now pending question, most favorable to Neutrals will be greatly to the advantage of the U S and acceptable to all the nations except England— The armed neutrality organized in 1780 by the Treaty of Copenhagen originated in a conviction that neutral rights were grossly violated by powerful Belligerents especially by England— Her rebel colonies profited by her persistance in the wrong, and it would be a curious coincidicence, if our rebel states should now profit by our persistence in the like wrong— If England demand the surrender of Mason & Slidel preliminary to any stipulation or concession on her part I would surrender them and say in our diplomatic note that we do so because we are satisfied, some precedents to the contrary notwithstanding that the law of nations did not justify the seizure; and we cannot doubt that Her Majestys Government concurs in opinion otherwise the demand would not have been made— We therefore hold it as settling the law between the two nations now and forever— Our business is not now with England but the rebellion — and England may hereafter be taught to rue any act of arrogance or injustice she may now commit— But I would conduct the negociation in the most civil terms & throw out no hints of future retribution, but preserve the amere pensé and bide our time— I am with consideration & Respect Yours T.

Title A name given to the resource 'Letter from Thomas Ewing to Abraham Lincoln, December 28, 1861' Subject The topic of the resource A Letter Carrying the Concerns of Thomas Ewing Regarding the Course of Events in the Trent Affair Description An account of the resource This letter to President Lincoln, possibly from then former Ohio Senator Thomas Ewing, reflects some of the concerns within the Northern public as the Trent Affair dragged on. Written only a few weeks before the captured Confederate diplomats were released to Great Britain, Ewing's opinion and suggestions on what actions to take line up with Lincoln's final attitude on the issue. In suggesting that the focus should be upon the course of the war with the rebelling Confederacy, the idea of one war or issue at a time is a central theme to Ewing's argument.

Dear Seward, I am not yet as well informed as I hope to be, yet I know enough to be sure that this Government is making prompt and efficient preparations for War; and if it has made a peremptory demand for the rebels, War there will be, for of course nothing will be done on compulsion. The great cause of insecurity is that neither this Government or People are our Friends. The Morrill Tariff and the belief that you are unfriendly to England prepared the Country to go first, for Secession, and next for War. Do not be misled. England is exasperated, and will not be restrained by calculations of cost. If we are equally so, there will be War. Already War Steamers are being got ready for the Western Lakes! Now if they give you a chance, I am persuaded that you can navigate safely through this peril, and if you do so it will be the crowning glory of your life. It is stated here, to-day, on high authority, that the Duke of Newcastle says you told him in America that we must have soon have a War with England The Secessionists here and in Paris are delighted with the arrest of Slidell and Mason, nor is the Family of the former at all unhappy. Some People here suspect that the arrest was courted. But be this as it may, I still think that Slidell and Mason will do us less harm here than in Fort Warren. I am asked, already, by two important men, if I have authority for [illegible] or power to prove, that you have not always shown ill-will and frequently threatened England Truly Yours T. W.

This includes the movement of British troops to stations in Canada, believed to be potentially under threat by the North, as well as the possibility of war with the North being discussed if Confederate diplomats Mason and Slidell were not surrendered to Britain. Weed also notes the economic frustration experienced in Britain following Congress's passage of the Morrill Tariff that March, which increased costs placed upon imported manufactured goods, heavily affecting British industries.

Furthermore, the arguments Adams made in regards to legal justification and precedent in cases such as the Trent and Alabama controversies would later play a role in post-war negotiations.

Operating as a journalist in Alabama prior to the war, Hotze would later enter into work for the Confederate government. In late 1861, Hotze was the task of establishing an operation in Great Britain that could sway public opinion to the cause of the South. Hotze spent the majority of the war working to spread Confederate-leaning sentiments throughout British journalism, including in the form of his own weekly publication, The Index. This image was likely taken around the timeframe of his journalism career and early service to the Confederate cause.

Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Text Any textual data included in the document Foreign Office November 30, 1861 My Lord, Intelligence of a very grave nature has reached Her Majesty's Government. This intelligence was conveyed officially to the knowledge of the Admiralty by Commander Williams, Agent for mails on board the contract steamer “Trent.” It appears from the letter of Commander Williams dated “Royal Mail Contract Packet “Trent,” at sea, November 9,” that the “Trent” left Havannah on the 7th instant, with Her Majesty's mails for England, having on board numerous passengers. Commander Williams states that, shortly after noon on the 8th a steamer having the appearance of a man of war, but not showing colours, was observed a-head On nearing her at 1.15 p.m. she fired a round shot from her pivot gun across the bow of the “Trent”, and showed American colours. While the “Trent” was approaching her slowly the American vessel discharged a shell across the bow of the “Trent,” exploding half a cable's length a-head of her. The “Trent” then stopped and an officer, with a large armed guard of marines boarded her. The officer demanded a list of the passengers, and compliance with this demand being refused, the officer said he had orders to arrest Messrs Mason, Slidell, McFarlane, and Eustis, and that he had sure information of their being passengers in the “Trent.” While some parley was going on, upon this matter, Mr Slidell stepped forward and told the American officer that the four persons he had named were then standing before him. The commander of the “Trent” and Commander Williams protested against the act of taking by force out of the “Trent” these four passengers, then under the protection of the British flag. But the “San Jacinto” was at that time only two hundred yards from the “Trent”, her ship's company at quarters, her ports open and tompions out. Resistance was therefore out of the question and the four gentlemen before named were forcibly taken out of the ship. A further demand was made that the commander of the “Trent” should proceed on board the “San Jacinto,” but he said he would not go unless forcibly compelled likewise, and this demand was not insisted upon. It thus appears that certain individuals have been forcible taken from on board a British vessel, the ship of a neutral Power, while such vessel was pursuing a lawful and innocent voyage, an act of violence which was an affront to the British flag and a violation of international law. Her Majesty's Government bearing in mind the friendly relations which have long subsisted between Great Britain and the United States are willing to believe that the United States naval officer who committed this aggression, was not acting in compliance with any authority from his Government, or that if he conceived himself to be so authorized, he greatly misunderstood the instructions which he had received. For the Government of the United States must be fully aware that the British Government could not allow such an affront to the national honour to pass without full reparation, and Her Majesty's Government are unwilling to believe that it could be the deliberate intention of the Government of the United States unnecessarily to force into discussion between the two Governments a question of so grave a character, and with regard to which the whole British nation would be sure to entertain such unanimity of feeling. Her Majesty's Government, therefore, trust that when this matter shall have been brought under the consideration of the Government of the United States, that Government will of its own accord offer to the British Government such redress as alone could satisfy the British nation, namely the liberation of the four gentlemen and their delivery to Your Lordship in order that they may again be placed under British protection, and a suitable apology for the aggression which has been committed. Should these terms not be offered by Mr Seward, you will propose them to him. You are at liberty to read this dispatch to the Secretary of State, and, if he shall desire it, you will give him a copy of it. I am &c. /signed/ Russell Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Desiring an explanation from Seward and including a deadline ultimatum to begin with the formal delivery of the message to the Secretary of State, Russell's directives reflect the confusion and frustration over the Affair. Lyons delayed the formal delivery of the ultimatum at Seward's behest, giving the Lincoln Administration time to form an appropriate response. In the meantime, Russell's stance was eased by a message from Seward disavowing the actions of Union Captain Wilkes in the Affair, though it fell short of a desired formal apology and the release of the arrested diplomats.

This direction pushed Secretary Seward to seek an opportunity to foster stronger ties with the United Kingdom, working with Lord Lyons to address a shared interest of the two governments. The product of their dialogue, the Lyons-Seward Treaty, promoted collaboration between the two nations on opposing the still-lingering elements of the Atlantic Slave trade, opened the door for additional talks as the war progressed. In promoting this overlapping interest, the U.S. added additional incentive for the British to remain neutral - a view argued as in the interests of both parties to the Treaty.

Captain Raphael Semmes moves to damaged ship into a final engagement, where it soon sinks. The Deerhound, a nearby private British vessel, aids in the rescue of the crew and officers, but does not turn over the rescued, which includes Semmes, to the Kearsarge, instead returning to England. Those aboard disperse, evading capture by the U.S., a series of events that adds more fuel to Northern anger over the British part in the Alabama's actions.
