CBC Ideas - The North Star: Canada and the Civil War Plots Against Lincoln by Julian Sher

A fantastic trip through the story of how much Montreal was used as a safe haven during the Civil War, how happy Canada was to profit off of the Civil War, and just how much Canadian elites like Sir John A MacDonald supported the South.

We (Canada) has blood on our hands and we love the fantasy that we don’t.

Counter intuitively we have the Daughters of the Confederacy for their memorialization to remind us how party Canada was to the civil war and classism.
