What was the purpose of the British Proclamation of Neutrality of May 1861?
On May 13, 1861, the British Proclamation of Neutrality was issued. Based on international law, this gave de facto recognition to the Confederate government, but of course there were no diplomatic ties based on this. France later issued a similar proclamation. To the British this meant that the Confederates had to abide by the treaty against privateering, while the Union had to construct an effective blockade. Also, later on the British, French and Spanish did not allow privateers from bringing in captured prizes to their ports. This effectively ended Confederate privateering as there were no ports in which to sell captured ships.
