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

History
1 answer:
vodka [1.7K]3 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.

Four Noble Truths
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Dukkha - The truth of Suffering

This is the first noble truth and speaks of the 3 types of suffering including;

  • The suffering born from painful experiences
  • The Suffering caused by constant change and,
  • The truth of Suffering

I find that this resonates with me because I feel as though I have been through a personal loss of a relative and it was a painful experience. I went through a tough time dealing with it and so I can relate with the first form of suffering.

I also find that I relate with the second type of suffering which is the suffering born from constant change. I find that there are things I no longer enjoy and people in my life that I can no longer stand to be around. This bothers me because I cannot shake the feeling that as I age more I'll stand less things until eventually I'll find nothing to be interesting.

As for the last type of suffering which is the Truth of Suffering. The Buddha says that suffering is a result of people not being enlightened and I believe I suffer this every day. I have no idea why humans suffer as much as they do or what the meaning and purpose of life is. I yarn for an explanation and the reason for this cycle of pain.
