JANUARY 22, 1861: Guns and ammunition sold to and destined for Georgia were seized by New York authorities. This action was protested by Georgia Governor Joseph E. Brown in a letter to New York Governor Edwin Morgan.
In retaliation, Governor Brown seized northern ships at Savannah on 8 and 21 February 1861.
Marine Guard at Brooklyn Navy Yard put under arms as a precaution against difficulty with Confederate sympathizers.
