During the American Civil War, Great Britain maintained a position of official neutrality, although it had substantial economic interests in the Confederacy due to cotton trade. While some British figures and businesses sympathized with the South, the British government refrained from recognizing the Confederacy or intervening in the conflict.

Overall, Britain sought to balance its economic interests with diplomatic neutrality.
