Would it be useful to have a mention of the Lancashire cotton famine, the support of the Union by the Lancashire mill workers, the confederate leanings of the government and the building of ships in Birkenhead for the Confederate Navy e.g. CSS Alabama? Dan Longdon 12:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would also be useful to point out that most of the article is plagiarised from this: http://www.civilwarhome.com/europeandcivilwar.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.184.92.110 (talk) 20:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Slavery not an issue"? - difficult to believe

"As far as Europe was concerned, no moral issue was involved; the game of power politics could be played with a clear conscience." This seems like just a glib statement not based on any research. Since Britain had an anti-slavery policy at about this time, attacking American slave ships for example, I find this statement difficult to believe. 80.2.200.28 (talk) 22:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
