The Trent Affair, also known as the Mason and Slidell Affair, was an international diplomatic incident that occurred during the American Civil War. On November 8, 1861, the USS San Jacinto, commanded by Union Captain Charles Wilkes, intercepted the British mail packet RMS Trent and removed, as contraband of war, two Confederate diplomats, James Mason and John Slidell.

The peace treaty signed in Europe in 1763 dictated that both France and Spain would surrender Canada and all territory east of the Mississippi River to Britain, bringing settlers, immigrants, and Indians in those areas under British rule.
