The British Proclamation of Neutrality in 1861, under international law, recognized the Confederacy. Such a declaration can only mean that there were two counties at war and Britain declared itself neutral.
The name Blue Puttees refers the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, who gallantly fought during WWI on behalf of Britain Newfoundland at this time was not a province of Canada, but still a colony of Britain. The name "blue puttees" comes from the blue cotton wraps the soldiers wore around their ankles. During the Battle of Somme at a place called Beaumont-Hamel, 801--men from the Newfoundland Regiment (Blue Puttees) went over-the-top.....Only 68 men survived....Sadly, a generation of Newfoundland's young men made the ultimate sacrifice....The Newfoundland Regiment was rebuilt and went on to fight at Monchy and Cambrai and would be granted the title of Royal in recognition of its conduct in the defense of Masnieres. The Royal Newfoundland Regiment served with honour and distinction. It was and is a credit to the people of Newfoundland and Canada
That question is best summed up by "Too little, too late". In the mid late Thirties Chamberlain started to rearm Great Britain but it was quite literally "Too little , too late" as Hitler had the jump on Great Britain by about 5 to 10 years both in gearing up for production but also technologically as well. granted the Brit's did invent radar to help fend off air bombardments , but the Germans were way ahead with jet and nuclear technology as well as better designs in almost every category when it came to weaponry. For example the German were able to aerial bombard London and other strategic sites at will with Rockets where as Great Britain barley had planes enough to semi-defend herself. had it not been for the U.S. intervention Great Britain would be speaking German today as would the whole of Europe.
The United States
G.I. Bill
The US .
He had never granted recognition to the Confederacy. As far as he was concerned, the Southern states still belonged to the USA.
Britain and France would have felt free to grant recognition to the Confederacy and send military aid. At that rate, the South would have won, and there would have been no proclamation.
After seceding, he would have been quite happy without a war, if Lincoln had granted official recognition to the Confederacy. But when Lincoln declared that he would defend Fort Sumter (which the Confederacy considered its own), and then called for new volunteer troops, Davis felt he had to mobilise.

They weren't 'allowed' to. Neither Congress nor any foreign country granted recognition to the Confederacy (although when the North 'blockaded' the Southern ports, they sounded as though they were acknowledging an enemy sovereign power.) After the war, there were calls to hang Jefferson Davis for treason.
Treaty of 1783: Britain granted Americaits independence and granted them land that stretched to the Mississippi river, the Great Lakes, and Florida.
Antietam did not swing on any crucial decisions. It happened because McClellan had discovered by chance that Lee's divisions were widely separated, and believed he could destroy them piecemeal. Lee then had to concentrate his forces, and fight before he was ready. If you're asking what would have happened if Lee had won, the answer is that Britain would have granted official recognition to the Confederacy and sent military aid. History might then have been very different.

It favoured the South, and would have granted recognition to the Confederates, if Britain had done the same. But after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, they could not aid the South without looking pro-slavery. They had, of course abolished slavery long before, as the British also had.
