From 1808 through the 1860s, Britain also exerted considerable pressure (accompa­ nied by equally considerable sums of money) on the U.S.A., Brazil, and European countries in the trade to cease their slaving. Subsequently, at the outbreak ofthe American Civil War in 1861, which was at least partly fought over the issue ofthe extension ofslavery, Britain declared her neutrality. Insofar as appearances were concerned, the British government both engaged in a vigorous suppression of the Atlantic slave trade and kept a distance from Confederate rebels during the American Civil War.

  • An Investigation Into British Neutrality During the American Civil War 1861-65
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO BRITISH NEUTRALITY DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 1861-65 BY REBECCA CHRISTINE ROBERTS-GAWEN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MA by Research Department of History University of Birmingham November 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis sought to investigate why the British retained their policy of neutrality throughout the American Civil War, 1861-65, and whether the lack of intervention suggested British apathy towards the conflict. It discovered that British intervention was possible in a number of instances, such as the Trent Affair of 1861, but deliberately obstructed Federal diplomacy, such as the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. This thesis suggests that the British public lacked substantial and sustained support for intervention. Some studies have suggested that the Union Blockade of Southern ports may have tempted British intervention. This thesis demonstrates how the British sought and implemented replacement cotton to support the British textile industry. This study also demonstrates that, by the outbreak of the Civil War, British society lacked substantial support for foreign abolitionists’’ campaigns, thus making American slavery a poorly supported reason for intervention.

  • Embargo Sur Le Coton
    CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM Lithographie de Currier & Yves (Library of Congress) Par Serge Noirsain “Au lieu de tirer le meilleur parti de cette ressource (le coton), le gouvernement de Davis prit délibérément toutes les mesures qui étaient en son pouvoir pour le rendre sans usage. Lincoln avec son blocus et Davis avec son embargo - deux tendances résolument opposées - aboutirent au même résultat: la destruction du Sud en tant que puissance économique et financière”. Il y a soixante ans déjà que Burton J. Hendrick portait ce jugement sur cette désastreuse option politique du cabinet confédéré, qui condamnait inéluctablement sa jeune nation à une lente mort par strangulation.1 Il est difficile de définir la position de l’exécutif confédéré par rapport au consensus national qui, en 1861, s’opposait à l’exportation du coton. Les principaux biographes de Jefferson Davis évoquent plus volontiers la “noblesse” du personnage dans l’adversité que son implication dans l’embargo, comme s’il ne s’agissait que d’un événement mineur perdu dans la fougue de l’indépendance sudiste. Des historiens comme Schwab, Callahan, Owsley, Yearns, Todd et une pléthore de leurs confrères reconnaissent qu’il s’agissait d’une situation de fait que Davis s’abstint de faire entériner par le Congrès afin de ne pas indisposer les économies française et anglaise.2 L’embargo aurait été la réplique spontanée de la population sudiste lorsque les puissances européennes reconnurent la validité du blocus. Quelles furent les véhicules et les manifestations de ce qui apparaît aujourd’hui comme une immense campagne d’intoxication? Dans son King Cotton Diplomacy, Frederic Owsley passe en revue les rodomontades les plus vertigineuses d’une presse arrogante qui se prétendait l’écho d’une puissance économique et militaire indomptable.

  • Recessions, Mortality, and Migration Bias: Evidence from the Lancashire Cotton Famine∗
    Recessions, Mortality, and Migration Bias: Evidence from the Lancashire Cotton Famine∗ Vellore Arthi Brian Beach W. Walker Hanlon UC Irvine Vanderbilt University NYU Stern and NBER and NBER December 11, 2019 Abstract We examine the health effects of the Lancashire Cotton Famine, a sharp down- turn in Britain's cotton textile manufacturing regions that was induced by the U.S. Civil War. Migration was an important response to this downturn, but as we document, migration also introduces a number of empirical challenges, which we overcome by introducing a new methodological approach. Our results indicate that the recession increased mortality among households employed in the cotton textile industry. We also document localized spillover effects on households providing non-tradeable services in the areas affected by the reces- sion.
