    If the UK had actually allied with the USA against the Confederacy it would've collapsed almost instantly Instead the UK remained "neutral" while the CSA bought its warships from British shipyards and its economy was kept alive by British blockade runners Fuck offhttps://twitter.com/matthewlesh/status/1269717157270761475 …

    Not only did the United Kingdom ban slavery, but also became moral crusaders against the slave trade. The most powerful navy of the era, the British Navy, was used to disrupt the slave trade. Real lives were put on the line to end the barbaric practice. https://twitter.com/tomhfh/status/1269643230318080001 …

        the nicest thing you could say about the UK in the civil war is that their German born Prince Consort kept them out of the fight for moral reasons, rather than giving into their natural greed.

        Plus, the English managed to replace the southern cotton with cotton from their Empire- Egypt and India.

        Seriously. Not to mention the British Empire was the largest buyer of cotton by quite a bit.

        Replying to @arthur_affect @MalteseAnna

        The UK was more than willing to help the Confederacy. The Confederates just had to be willing to give up slavery. They couldn't do that of course. If they had then there would have been no reason to secede.

        The British romanticized the Lost Cause before the cause was lost.

        Strangely though we idolised John Brown. Especially in working class (typically methodist or Quaker) communities. It confused my American Wife that I knew what happened at Harper's Ferry when it was relatively untaught at school for her.

        The Times and the Economist were also both in favor of UK intervention on the part of the CSA at the time.

        The UK backdoor support ended once Egyptian cotton production had grown large enough to replace the South as well.

        Forget "neutrality" - IIRC the British seriously considered helping the CONFEDERACY.
