Still image from: Mossback's Northwest: The Pig War

The killing of a British pig by an American settler triggered an international confrontation that almost set the U.S. and Britain to war in the 1850s. Did one soldier, who later became Confederate general George Pickett, have an ulterior motive in the conflict? Part of the "Mossback's Northwest" series.
