Unit 5 – Civil War and Reconstruction, 1848–1877
Topic 5.9
What might have been the likely impact on the outcome of the Civil War had the Confederacy secured a formal alliance with Britain?
There would be no significant change in the outcome as Britain was primarily interested in maintaining trade relations with both sides.
A formal alliance with Britain might have led to internal divisions within the Confederacy due to differing interests.
The war could have escalated into a global conflict, drawing other European powers into it.
The Confederacy could potentially have won as British intervention would provide significant military and economic support.
