Question

Britain did not come to the aid of the Confederacy - as the latter had hoped - because ​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Britain had stockpiled enough cotton prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, which reduced its immediate need to break the Union's naval blockade to trade with the Confederacy for cotton. This strategic reserve allowed Britain to remain neutral without suffering a significant economic impact from a cotton shortage.
