"The Trent Affair" is small and still under construction, but it aims to be the central web source for research on the Trent Affair by providing online copies of primary source documents and secondary source documents such as scholarly journal articles.

The Trent Affair was a Civil War diplomatic crisis between the US and Great Britain prompted when a US warship removed Confederate diplomats from a British vessel in international waters. War was narrowly averted by the United States releasing the captured Confederates.

As noted, the website is still under construction and the document and article collection is currently rather sparse. Additionally, I am running this website on my own. I would welcome any suggestions or submissions related to potential content or the website's design. Please contact me before actually sending an entire document or article. I can be reached at the email address below or via the onsite guestbook.

Thank you.
