DiogenesLamp: "A collection of slave owning states declared Independence from a Union and fought to be independent, with their armies being led by a slave owning General from Virginia."

HandyDandy: " It is either, 'A collection of British colonies declared independence from a Monarchy' or 'A collection of Slave States seceded from a Union'. "

Pelham: "United Kingdom. George Washington.
Our British cousins mocked the Lincoln government for playing the role of King George,"

It seems the British upper-crust rather liked Confederate elites, but working middle-class Brits sympathized more with Rail-Splitter Lincoln and despised slavery.
Regardless the analogy of Revolution with Civil War is totally wrong because 1776 Founders only declared independence after Brits declared them in rebellion, meaning they'd hang if captured, and waged war against them for over a year.

Nothing remotely resembling such conditions existed in December 1860 when Deep South Fire Eaters unilaterally declared unapproved secession at pleasure.

You are usually too far out there to attract any interest from me.
