At the time of the height of the Olmec civilization, the mayans were still a relatively primitive group of tribes. They may have interacted, and the Olmec might have taken advantage of them, but the Classical Maya (those with pyramids, hieroglyphs, and calendar), had no interasction with the olmec.

Why did both the union and confederacy care about british neutrality?
The Union goal in the Civil War was to restore the union of all of the states. The Confederate goal was to establish a separate independent nation.
The Southern economy depended heavily on the export of "king cotton" to European textile mills as a source of income. The Union navy blockaded southern ports to prevent them from getting cotton out. Both Britain and France took interest in the war for their own needs.
In the first two years of the war, the Confederates had won every major eastern engagement and it looked like they would prevail in their quest to break away from the United States. By the summer of 1862, Britain looked like they would enter the war and support the southern Cause for independence. Their naval support would help the southern economy and expand the war into a global conflict. European industry could supply the arms and equipment that the south lacked and the north had in abundance.
General Robert E. Lee invaded the north by entering Maryland in September of 1862. He intended to destroy railroad bridges in Pennsylvania critical to the Union supply lines. He also thought that one more victory would bring Britain in on the Confederate side. On September 17th 35,000 rebels met 70,000 Federal troops at Sharpsburg, Maryland along Antietam Creek. The battle started before dawn and lasted until night fall. It is the single bloodiest day in American history with causalities of 23,000 men killed, wounded or missing in action. The Battle of Antietam was a draw with no clear winner. Lee escaped back into Virginia to fight another day.
President Abraham Lincoln used the "victory" (it wasn't an outright defeat so the stalemate appeared to be enough of a victory to claim it as so) to issue the Emancipation Proclamation which freed slaves in states under rebellion as of January 1st, 1863. (Note: it didn't free slaves held in northern states even though many were held there.)
Since the Confederates didn't gain a clear victory at Antietam and not wanting to appear to support slavery in the South, Britain and France backed off from lending support to the Cause.
The war endured another three years and ultimately cost over 600,000 American lives.
