Certainly more than one Confederate general wanted to continue the war after Lee's surrender. Jefferson Davis also wanted to continue the war. The problem was that in April of 1865, the Confederate supply organization still provided the essentials for continued fighting however, it could have not continued much longer.All the essential main line railroads were broken, and the last four remaining ports of Charleston, Wilmington, Savannah and Mobile were closed down.

The one possible chance of sending a raid from the Army of Tennessee into the North had dim prospects.

There was only one other sizable Confederate army in the field, and that was certain to surrender (to Sherman) within a couple of weeks.

What factors kept England from throwing its full support to the confederacy?

Initially - doubts about the viability of the Confederacy. They wanted to back a winner. Ethical position over slavery - although the war was not originally about slavery, the Lancashire cotton workers said they would sacrifice their jobs, rather than support the Confederacy. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made it impossible for free nations abroad to support the South without looking pro-slavery themselves. Especially good diplomatic work by Lincoln's envoy in London - C.F. Adams (of the Presidential family).

Was a lack of nationalism one element that caused the defeat of the Confederacy in 1865?

Some historians cite the lack of a real and long term nationalism as one of many factors that hampered the South's war effort and led to its defeat. The South was united against the Republicans.Their long term loyalties were with the United States not to the Confederate States of America. The lack of nationalism led to many soldier desertions and the South still remained a viable military force even after Appomattox.


What two factors kept England from throwing its full support to the Confederacy?

Supporting the Confederacy would have led to outright war with the United States. It would have also caused labor issues, since the industrial workers sympathized with the slaves and were openly opposed to slavery, and some threatened to leave their jobs rather than support the slave holding Confederacy.


How do limiting factors affect the population?

Limiting factors are environmental conditions that restrict the growth, abundance, or distribution of a population. These factors include food availability, predation, disease, and space. When a population reaches its carrying capacity, or the maximum number of individuals that the environment can support, limiting factors prevent further growth by reducing birth rates, increasing death rates, or causing individuals to emigrate.
