Trent Affair was an international diplomatic incident in which a union ship USS San Jacinto intercepted a British mail liner RMS Trent and arrested two confederate diplomats. This incident threatened to disrupt Anglo-American relations and chances of war between the two also increased. However, Lincoln administration resolved this matter by releasing the two diplomats and disavowed captain's actions. However no formal apology was issued.
