6. Alliances Britain and France were actually pleased to see there be conflicts in the U.S. because they refer to it as the “paradise” country The French wanted some influence on Mexico because it would suit and be better for them for a new nation (Pro-France) between Mexico and the U.S.

7. Alliances Continued (Confederacy) The Confederacy sent some representatives to London and Paris to hope for and be officially recognized. As Lee sent to Union army back across Virginia, the Confederates were earning credibility and the British came close to recognizing their government. But after many conflicts both France and Britain had to stay out of it.

31. The Effects of The Civil War on our World Today I believe that without the civil war our country could still be suffering from slavery. If we still had slavery I couldn’t know or be friends with half of the people I already know. I believe the Civil War had to happen but maybe not the way it did. I wish they had signed an agreement instead of going to war forbidding slavery and giving certain states rights. If the seceded states tried to see the slaves from the Union’s perspective and realized how terrible it really was and that they were also human beings that they would have understood and agreed to let it stop.
