Confederate Operations in Canada and the North: A Little-Known Phase of the American Civil War

Oscar Arvle Kinchen

4.9/5 (29081 ratings)

Description:After their initial success, the Confederate leaders in Richmond realized that more diversity and flanking tactics would be needed to defeat the North. They had been receiving reports of dissaffection among the farmers and stockmen in the Old Northwest; also, the rise of secret societies in that section, which were opposed to continuance of the war, added fuel to the Confederate desire to ignite a giant conflagration that would literally consume the North from within its own borders.Determined to assist the anti-war parties behind the Union lines and assail their Yankee adversaries from the rear, the Confederacy financed an important mission into Canada. By utilizing their financial resources and the considerable anti-war feeling in the area, they planned to promote an insurrection in the Old Northwest, liberate the Confederate prisoners in northern prison camps and, thereby, force an end to the war through a negotiated peace with the South.Perhaps the most notable outcome of this Confederate backdoor adventure was a grave crisis in Canadian-American relations, which was to embolden the Irish Fenian Brotherhood to attempt the conquest of Canada and her neighboring provinces at the end of the war within the States. This book tells it all--direct from Confederate records and private correspondence. [Description from the back flap]We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
