American Civil War (jan 1, 1861 – jan 1, 1865)
Description:
The main important thing to note regarding foreign policy in the Civil War is that many Southern Confederates assumed they would receive assistance from France and Britain because the American cotton industry, maintained by slaves, was important to European economies. This incorrect assumption was part of the reason why the Confederates were so underprepared for the war and lacked adequate funds or resources.Added to timeline:
