no footnotes date December 2011 The ConfederateArmy of Manhattan was a group of eight Confederate States of America Southern operatives who attempted to burn New York City on November 25, 1864, during the final stages of the American Civil War . In a plot orchestrated by Jacob Thompson , the operatives infiltrated Union American Civil War Union territory from Canada and made their way to New York. On Friday night, November 25, beginning around 8 45pm, the group attempted to simultaneously start fires in 19 hotels, a theater, and P.T. Barnum s museum. The objective was to overwhelm the city s firefighting resources by distributing the fires around the city. Most of the fires either failed to start or were contained quickly. All the operatives escaped prosecution except for one, Robert Cobb Kennedy , who was apprehended in January 1865 while trying to travel from Canada to the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia .
