Great Britain and the American Civil War
Ephraim Douglass Adams, a historian at Stanford University, spent years studying British newspapers, parliamentary debates and the diplomatic correspondence of both governments to answer one question: how close did Britain come to intervening in the American Civil War? His study, published in two volumes bound as one, follows British opinion and policy from the first news of secession through the Trent affair, the blockade, the cotton famine, Lord John Russell's mediation plan, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Laird rams and Roebuck's motion in Parliament, to the end of the war. Detailed but readable, it remains a basic account of Anglo-American relations in those years. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
