In mid-July 1852, a mediation delegation consisting of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria arrived in New York, where the Southern Delegate James Mason and the Northern Delegate James Buchanan held talks aboard the Trent, a British warship docked in New York Harbor.

The differences between the two sides are enormous, but there is no doubt that both sides are bluffing at this point and have no immediate motive for war.

No matter how the Indians of the West claim that they are peace-loving, the very existence of this country is a great threat to both the North and the South.

Just as the Indians would not believe their promises, they would not believe the so-called promises of the Indians.

But the situation has evolved to this point, and both the north and the south are facing an embarrassing situation, that is, their respective supporters have been fanned, and if either side dares to take a step back, the supporters behind them will tear them apart!

Unlike the America countries in the west, in the America countries, no matter how the people fanned out, as long as the turtledoves were willing to come forward, the people could only stop fighting.

The Indians have a fanatical blind obedience to turtledoves, and they will believe whatever they say.

But the United States in the East, even Zachary Taylor, with the prospect of being re-elected president, cannot guarantee whether he will be able to do so as a president after he submits to the South.

As a result, the North-South negotiations held at Trent were at an impasse from the very beginning! New Yorkers, on the other hand, were increasingly angry, fearing that Zachary Taylor would compromise with the South, and even briefly occupied Congress, breaking into the speaker's office and stealing a large number of documents inside.

The next day, news was that in the Speaker's drawer, there was a plan to make peace with the South—and the day after the news leaked, several New York police officers forced their way onto the Trent and took the Southern representatives, James Mason and John Sleidel, from the steamer.

The Trent attempted to leave New York Harbor to stop the New York police officers, but a Federal Army, the San Jacinto, blocked the harbor.

Right under the noses of the envoys of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria, the New York police took away the southern negotiators.

The next day, the envoys of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria sent a note to the northern government, claiming that if such impudent behavior could not be corrected, the four countries would go to war with the northern federation.

Secretary of State Buchanan also escaped from the Trent while in the chaos, claiming that it was a farce directed and staged by the Confederate Alliance, and that if Britain was going to war, then war!

James Buchanan was a staunch anti-British, and it was at his insistence that America was left without a British garrison.

The two sides have deep grievances. However, this time he was not without brains, although Britain, France, Russia and Austria stood together, but Buchanan's anger was only directed towards Britain.

The war between the two sides in the south has not yet begun, and the United States and Great Britain are about to go to war! The situation has become so chaotic that no one can tell who is the enemy and who is the ally.

Perhaps the only good news was that Zachary Taylor and Jefferson Davis had an expensive cable exchange at the end of July, in which both sides said they would not take the initiative to provoke a war.

…… The mediation team of Britain, France, Russia and Austria did not expect that everyone would come all the way across the ocean to mediate the war in North America, and in the end, they would first have to mediate the war between Britain and the United States!

What is even more absurd is that the internal affairs of the Four-Nation Adjustment Mission are actually in a state of war. The Anglo-French forces fought with the Russian army in Crimea, the Franco-Austrian forces jointly dealt with Prussia in the Laiyin area, Britain and Russia fought with France for colonies in North Africa, and the Austro-Prussian and British four-nation alliance was still jointly blockading France...... A pot of pulp lakes in Europe has now finally spread to North America.

By mid-August, as British warships in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans began to move, the American Federation had no choice but to admit it.

Zachary Taylor dismissed James Buchanan as Secretary of State and sent an envoy to London to explain that the 'Trent incident' was the personal act of Captain San Jacinto and had nothing to do with the U.S. government.

and paid a reparations in dollars to Britain – the absurdity that the arrested Southern delegation had been held in Boston jail, and the American envoy said nothing about it except for the screaming of the Confederates, and the British withdrew the Trent after receiving the reparations.

The 'four-nation mediation' died down and ended without a problem. But marked by the joint statement of Zachary Taylor and Jefferson Davis, the mediation was considered a successful one, embodying the wisdom and big-picture vision of Europeans and creating an opportunity for peace for humanity.

Victoria ordered his warship in the Indian Ocean to turn around and go to Burma, France's Napoleon III admired a 43-meter-long steam airship over Paris, Austria decided to take advantage of France's involvement in the Crimea to attack the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the blue-nosed and swollen Tsar celebrated his naval landing on the Bosphorus with champagne in St. Petersburg...... In the original plane, this should have happened a few years later, but now, with the creation of an American state out of thin air in the western part of North America, all that has changed.

Historical figures are not marionettes, and history itself is not a well-staged drama that no one will perform at a set pace.

- Even the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom wrote to ask if the turtledove was related to the 'Bangu' of the Han Dynasty?

Are you willing to return to your hometown to worship your ancestors? In the chaotic and bloody Dark Ages of the 19th century, all nations struggled to break through the shackles in a variety of ways.

Even the European powers, who were considered to have the most nourishing life in later generations, actually struggled to move forward in the mud while crying in the wah.

Who is really easy? …… In September 1852, Sawyer submitted a report to Jefferson Davis, pointing out that with the support of the North, the slaves fled north, and that the number of slave riots in the southern plantations had increased by 1,534 in the past six months, and that if no action was taken, the plantation owners would unite on their own to defend their property, which would undoubtedly be a great blow to the authority of Richmond and even lead to the collapse of the Union government!

Davis initially dismissed the report as alarmist, but then a white man named John Brown led a group of blacks to storm a plantation in Tennessee, causing Davis to panic greatly.

He ordered Robert Lee to go to the suppression himself, and at the same time, there was no doubt about the Confederates of the Confederacy's efforts to fan civil unrest in the Confederates.

He decided not to wait any longer and strike first - but there was one key guarantee he needed to be put in place, and that was that he had to make sure once again that the America of the West would not take advantage of the fire, at least, not to attack himself!
