    How far north did Confederates reach while fighting during the US Civil War?

    		The most northly point was St Albans in Vermont. They raided from Canada and robbed three banks. The weather was wet so the attempt to burn the town failed. They were captured in Canada and made to return the money. Information provided by "the history channel"

    		These Vermont raiders started from Canada, and since Canada is north of Vermont, then the furthest north the Confederates reached must be somewhere in Canada.

    This question provoked howls of protest from two of my contestants at pub quiz - Who was the naval commander that became the first man to reach the North Pole in March 1909? - The answer I was prepared to accept was Robert Peary, however, two 'expert' quiz players less-than-kindly informed me that Peary did not reach the North Pole, he merely flew over it. I said that I thought he was wrong, as this contradicts all the articles I've read about Peary's travels. In this case, was my question wrong, or was my contestant?
