Walker had been greeted in New York…

November 1857 CE

Walker had been greeted in New York as a hero (to Vanderbilt's disgust) upon disembarking in the city, but he had alienated public opinion when he blamed his defeat on the U.S. Navy.

Within six months, he sets off on another expedition, but he is arrested by the U.S. Navy Home Squadron under the command of Commodore Hiram Paulding and once again returned to the U.S. amid considerable public controversy over the legality of the navy's actions.
