Who were our Allies.....?

Question

In the Civil War??? For both North and South??

I cant remember...What was the Major Battor in the Civil War??

Answer 1

There were no allies. Foreign governments stayed out. Many wanted the South to win, but wouldn't get involved until they were sure the South could win. They were never convinced, so they didn't get involved.

I think you were asking about a major battle in the war. The turning points were Vicksburg in the west and Gettysburg in the east. Both took place the first week of July, 1963 and both were decisive North victories.

Answer 2

There were no actual Allies in the Civil War. But Lincoln and the North did fear and with cause that England would come on the side of the South to add to their fledging textile industry based on Southern cotton and the South would have desired them to open up the stranglehold of the Northern blockade of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico to get in needed supplies of arms and food.
To be recognized as a sovereign nation the South would need a big victory on Union soil and Lee believed getting to Philadelphia nad possibly to Nork City could make the North sue for peace.
While on their way North Lee needed to stop because his men were poorly shod and there was a boot maker in Gettysburg who could fit their order. If Lee would have won at Gettysburg, he might have got to New York City and even behind the other side and Washington D.C. But with the loss at Gettysburg and the crushing blow at Vicksburg cutting off the Mississippi in two and taking the last great lifeline away from them. After Gettysburg, the Confederacy was forced into a defensive, guerilla warfare and the threat of England helping the South came to an end.

Answer 3

Let's see. A good bit of England liked the Union in the Civil War, while only a small few liked the Rebels. France I believe liked the Rebels. The Irish had mixed feelings about both, and the same with Native Americans. Mexico I'm pretty sure liked the Rebels. The Siberians supported the Union, as well as Canada.

Answer 4

Neither the North nor the South had actual allies. They had trading partners, but they weren't very loyal. Attempts to boycott certain commodities didn't work very well if someone had enough money to dangle in front of the captain - and blockade running was almost a primary industry in the south.

Answer 5

Well I know a lot of Indians fought for the South and a lot of African Americans fought for the north. Other then that the other Nations just stayed out of it. Probably because they didn't want the winner to be upset and refuse to trade with them because they backed the other side.

Answer 6

There weren't allies of either side. North vs. South. You might be thinking of the Revolution.

Answer 7

Civil war = internal war = no allies.

Maybe you're thinking of another war?
