2 jun 1866 ano - Fenian Raids

Descrição:

The Fenians, a group of radical Irish-Americans organized in New York in 1859 to oppose British presence in Ireland, begin a series of raids on Canadian territory in the hopes of diverting British troops from the homeland. The most serious of these was the Battle of Ridgeway, which lent a special urgency to the Confederation movement.
