On October 19, 1864, the tranquility of the Northern home front was shattered when a gang of marauding Confederate raiders ransacked the town of St. Albans, Vermont.

This international incident posed serious implications regarding Canadian neutrality and raised the prospect of European involvement—developments that had the potential to alter the broader course of the war.
