Britain and the American Civil War

Part of the British Library's Online Galleries, this collection concentrates on the role the United Kingdom played in the American Civil War. It provides both handy reference guides and access to the library's range of sources, texts, maps, and objects produced in Britain and related to the war. Highlights include a collection of maps designed to convey the course of events to readers of British periodicals, as well as essays and bibliographies on a range of issues including diplomatic and economic relations, as well as British- and Irish-born participants in the fighting.
