Description
Mob firing cannon before the courthouse where Alexander McLeod was imprisoned, 1840 (c1880). Alexander McLeod was a former deputy sheriff of Niagara district who was arrested in Buffalo and charged with the murder of Amos Durfee, an American killed during the Caroline Affair, an incident in the 1837 rebellion against British rule in Canada. He was imprisoned for 11 months before a trial acquitted him. The Caroline Affair temporarily placed a strain on relations between the United States and Britain. A print from Cassell's History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume III, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880. (Photo by The Print Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images)
