For most of the winter, illness exacerbated by chronic alcoholism had confined Thomas D’Arcy McGee to his house in Montreal, where many of his former Irish friends now shunned him. McGee’s harsh words toward the Fenian cause had earned him an expulsion from the St. Patrick’s Society of Montreal in November 1867, and he continued to antagonize the Irish by vilifying the Manchester Martyrs.

A leader of the Young Irelander Rebellion in 1848, Thomas D’Arcy McGee earned the wrath of the Fenians when he became an outspoken supporter of the British Crown as a member of the Canadian Parliament.
