Those writing for the British press of the mid-Victorian era were masters of the English language, given to tirades of grand oratory. They liked to cover the former colonies, arousing rhetorical fears among Britons over the increasing power of the United States. With the advent of the American Civil War, the British press had the perfect opportunity to practice their peculiar brand of journalism. The South was the home of virtuous aristocrats, and Lincoln had bad taste, bad grammar and the respect of no one. Selections from all of Britain's major Civil War-era newspapers and magazines (along with numerous pamphlets) are presented, with the author's historical and editorial comments. A revealing assessment of British journalistic treatment of the War Between the States is the result. Sections of the book are devoted to the British press' handling of contentious issues between the North and South, specific battles or persons, a detailed profile of The Times of London (including personal correspondence) with examples of the bias in favor of the Confederacy in The Times' reportage, and the portrayal by the press of Lincoln's presidency upon his assassination (suddenly The Times found wisdom and goodness).

This fascinating book discusses the role of the United Kingdom during the American Civil War. Officially, the UK stayed neutral throughout the war. They also legally recognised the belligerent status of the Confederate States of America (CSA), though never recognising it as a nation. Neither did the UK sign a treaty with it nor ever exchanged ambassadors. Over 90 percent of Confederate trade with Britain ended, causing a severe shortage of cotton. Private British blockade runners sent munitions and luxuries to Confederate ports in return for cotton and tobacco. Public opinion was divided over the war, with support for the Confederacy tending to emanate from the upper class while the middle and lower classes mostly favored the Union.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Historical Account of the Neutrality of Great Britain: During the American Civil War This book is primarily intended as a contribution to the history of International Law. The struggle in which the American people were engaged between the years 1861 and 1865 was, from its magnitude, from the fact that it was partly maritime, and from the extensive intercourse which the United States maintain with Europe, singularly fertile in questions regarding the rights and duties of belligerent and neutral. I propose to give a succinct and connected account of these questions as they arose. Dry and uninteresting as they will probably appear to most men, such controversies have importance for all civilized communities, since there are few nations which can indulge the hope that they will not some day be plunged into war, and none that can expect to escape all contact with it. I desire, in the second place, to exhibit, by means of such a narrative, a general view of the conduct of the British Government in relation to the war. In this way alone can it be fairly judged. It is only by taking them in connection with one another, with the general history of the revolt, and with the course pursued by other neutral nations, that the acts of Great Britain can be seen as they were, and in their true magnitude and proportion. Nearly five years have now passed since the restoration of peace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

When the Confederacy seceded from the Union shortly after the election of Abraham Lincoln, they hoped to quickly win their independence in a short war. But they also held what they hoped was an ace up their sleeve; they believed their cotton trade made it paramount for European nations to recognize the Confederacy if not intervene in its favor. Lincoln and the North also was aware of the precarious status with Great Britain, and the relationship was quickly tested by the "Trent Affair", which featured the arrest of Confederate diplomats after Union forces boarded a British ship. During the first half of the Civil War, both sides played a game of cat and mouse hoping to curry favor with Great Britain. Ephraim Douglass Adams (1865-1865) was an American educator who became an associate professor of history around the end of the 20th century. From that position he wrote his two-volume history of Great Britain and the American Civil War, one of the most comprehensive accounts of the relationship between Great Britain and the warring United States and Confederate States respectively.
