Did Britian officially support the Confederacy?

Friar Tuck

Britain actively supported the Confederacy. It built ships to transport war materiel to the South, and warships that inflicted considerable damage on the Northern fleet. The Alabama was a Confederate cruiser built and outfitted by Britain. After the war, the U.S. government claimed damages for the harm the Alabama did. Under the 1871 Treaty of Washington, an international arbitration tribunal judged Britain guilty of interference in the internal affairs of another country. The panel held Britain liable for {$15,500,000} in damages for losses the Alabama inflicted. Jun 26 02, 7:31 AM
