I could have sworn i included it but here
British officers on leave and British sailors served in some of the blockade runners. No Royal Navy ships engaged any United States Navy ships.
Honest i still believe they were in on it but i can find no proof that can support that claim and i still maintain that the English recognized the Confederacy as Legtimate but apparently it was mostly just their Merchants and sailors.

Private vessels crewed by English sailors, Carrying supplies for the Confederate States being paid by private interests which unforunately none are listed and therefore i cannot see where that money was coming from which is a pity.
If they were shell companies for the english government it would make proving this so much easier but alas no bussiness were listed and therefore i can only maintain my own position on english support for the C.S.A supported by private english and government either being fine with it or turning a blind eye to it.
:meh: Honest i still believe they were in on it but i can find no proof that can support that claim and i still maintain that the English recognized the Confederacy as Legtimate but apparently it was mostly just their Merchants and sailors.
Ah well I still personally consider the Confederacy as a formerly independent series of States.

Britain under Gladstone.
And shell companies?
Makes some mighty fine alternative history.

You make it sound like this has not occured a thousand times already in history.

The only diffrence here due to Wiki's lack of detail there is no proof to support it but it is possible.
Heck The Americans used the same damn techique to support those isurgents back in the 70s, 80s and 90s
Having radio companies assembling missiles and transfering tens of thousands of USD into the hand's of folks fighting whatever government they didn't care for at the moment.
I could list off a few situations but honestly the way you said altenative history just made me shake my head, Iran-contra is a well known insistance of a shell corp giving aid to groups the government cannot offically support. I suppose if the english had gotten caught giving offical government aid to the C.S.A the result might have been the same.
