Why did both the Union and Confederacy care about British neutrality?

History

vodka [1.7K]2 years ago
8 0

The simple version is that both Union and Confederacy cared about British neutrality for the same reason - both sides of the same coin so to speak.

The Confederacy was an agrarian society. Their two major crops were cotton and tobacco, much of which they exported to England. Their manufacturing capabilities were minor and they relied on the income they got from their trade with England to purchase many manufactured goods, especially weapons.

The Union had considerable manufacturing capability of their own, and wanted England to stay neutral for exactly that reason, so that they (the English) would not respond militarily to the Union blockade of Confederate ports, which effectively cut off the supply of arms, equipment and cash the Confederacy needed to survive.

Why is Heathcliff so eager for Cathy and Linton to marry before Edgar dies?​
Nataly_w [17]

<u>Answer</u>:

Heathcliff so eager for Cathy and Linton to marry before Edgar dies so that she can help him rise and leave her brother’s power.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Heathcliff is one of the main fictional character in the famous novel Wuthering heights, who is mostly known for his romantic situation with his lover Catherine Earnshaw. However, regardless of his strong feelings, Heathcliff insisted that Cathy and Linton marry and this is due to several reasons.  

Around the half of the novel, the character of Heathcliff started changing and developed into an angry, disturbed, unhappy and hostile man. Therefore, the first idea that came into Cathy’s mind was helping him by marrying Lincoln before the death of Edgar. By that, Edgar could use his connection to aid her true lover Heathcliff instead of marrying him as she had no money and having no future with him.
