The Trent Affair in 1861 involved the U.S. Navy's seizure of a British mail ship, the RMS Trent, which was carrying two Confederate diplomats to Europe, causing a diplomatic crisis between the United States and Great Britain. The Laird Shipyard incidents refer to the construction of warships, the CSS Alabama and CSS Florida, by a British shipyard for the Confederacy, which further strained U.S.-British relations during the Civil War.
