Many threads have been written about the "Trent affair", but little is discussed about the "Laid Rams" built in Liverpool for the Confederate Navy.
Lincoln was willing to go to war with Great Britain if they allowed delivery of those two ships to the South. Truly, the "Laird Rams" were the forerunners of modern steel hull battle cruisers that would have shredded the Union wooden hull ships of the blockade to pieces.
