Lesson Snapshot:

  • Hopes were high for prompt British recognition of the Confederacy and for a swift victory over the Union in battle.
  • 100,000 men met the first call for volunteers for the Confederate army.
  • The withdrawal of these men from the labour force did not immediately affect the economy.
