1. The Brits built the Confederacy a fine ship, the Alabama
2. Captain Semmes, more IMO seeking vengeance for a frustrating career with the US Navy than the loyalty he professed to the cause, spent a couple of years terrorizing Union merchants on the high seas.
3. After the war the Yanks sue the Brits
4. ?
5. Canadian independence (profit)
Or so the story goes.
All hail Raphael Semmes, founding father of Canada.
