The statement that best describes the political position of Great Britain during the Civil War was "the British government favored the North over the South."
The British government tried to maintain neutrality but had political interests with the North and economic interest with the South. On paper, they supported the North because England did not want another confrontation with the Union that could end up in war. The Union warned foreign countries not to support the rebel states in any way because it could be an act of war against the United States. But Britain imported cotton from the Confederated states plantations, so they were very cautious to keep trading with the South and avoid a political confrontation with the North
Mayor Daley deployed thousands of police officers to restrain the protesters.
When the Democratic National Convention met in Chicago in 1968, thousands of protesters staged demonstrations against the US involvement in the Vietnam War. Chicago's mayor, Richard Daley, sent out 12,000 local police officers against the protesters and called in thousands more state and federal officers. The situation became a major riot between protesters and police that came to be known as "The Battle of Michigan Avenue."
