“These vessels brought badly needed supplies, especially firearms, and mail. “
Firearms from England, Blockade runners from England, Naval Ships from England.
I’ve proved my point. England was very involved in the Civil War. Most counties would consider what England did an act of war.
In General Southern people are great, but they fought for a very poor cause in the Civil war. So please don’t put words in my mouth.
” Most counties would consider what England did an act of war. “
Maybe.
but none of this made a difference... maybe it was all a ruse to fool the South?
England had much to gain from the certain victory of the North- if they cooperated.
So, tough to view things otherwise.
In a few more years the South could have prepared for war with the North.
They didn’t have those years.
