Field Marshal Garnet Wolseley, who took over following the Battle of Rorke's Drift (depicted in the movie Zulu), during the American Civil War had been sent to Canada following the Trent incident. Wolseley took leave of his military duties the following year and went to Virginia to observe the war for himself and met with Generals Robert E. Lee and Longstreet. Following the war, he penned a defense of Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest's actions during the Ft. Pillow massacre.
