The text of the purported "diplomatic recognition" if the CSA by Coburg-Saxe Gotha has never been, to my knowledge, posted by any of the southrons. It is claimed that such a document is on display at an obscure museum.

It would be interesting to see what such text reveals - in context and in full. If it is similar to the so-called "diplomatic recognition" given by the Vatican, then it is, in effect, no recognition at all. The most telling factor regarding any so-called "recognition" is that no nation or state ever exchanged ambassadors with the CSA.

It seems that when the "citizens" of a "nation-state" crave recognition (even 140 years after the fact), any bit of over-hyped fiction will do.
