Best Answer

Both the USA and CSA were concerned with where the British allegiance lay as their (the British) entrance into the war on either side could have had a major impact on the outcome. For instance if they would have sided with with the Confederacy, then they more than likely would have won, but if they would have sided with the Union, the war could have been over faster.
