About the book
Jones studies the crisis in Anglo-American relations during the Civil War and its impact on the South’s attempt to win foreign support during the crucial years of 1861 and 1862. He argues that the central issue was the possibility that Britain would grant diplomatic recognition to the Confederacy, a move that would have legitimized secession and undermined the Constitution.
