Yes, when it secures allies against your own countrymen

Who were doing everything they could to kill as many of us as possible and one of their top generals advocated rounding up all of his 'countrymen' and exiling them to foreign countries and repopulating their land with damnyanks!

There's no way that you wrote that crap in seriousness and if you did then you're a complete moron.

but they were perfectly happy and anxious to see a French or British army do the same.

The South wanted enough forces to drive the marauding vermin from our country and then to establish a peaceful truce and that is all.

You make the error of attributing the desire of some Southerners too all Southerners. Most Southerners probably just wanted the war over with a return to the old Union of North and South.A significant element of other Southerners, both black and white, welcomed the Yankees as liberators form slaver and/or local oppressions. Read up about the reception of Knoxville, Tennessee to Burnside and his liberating troops.
