Coberge Saxe-Gotha did.....:) (my spelling may be off here)
Mildly. Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is supposed to have recognized the confederate when they supposedly requested an exequatur from the confederate government for Ernst Raven, their counsel in Texas. I've also seen accounts that the government of Prince Ernst II requested the exequatur from the state of Texas rather than Richmond, which I suppose meant that they recognized Texas sovereignty if not confederate. The confederate secretary of state was also complaining about the same time that counsels of foreign countries residing in the south were till communicating with their home country through their embassy's in Washington, and if Raven was doing the same then it hardly conveys recognition on Richmond now does it? If that's the best you can do in the form of recognition then have at it.
