D. Was not morally opposed to the Confederacy's use of slave labor
While Britain had various motivations and interests during the American Civil War, it did express moral opposition to the Confederacy's use of slave labor. Public sentiment in Britain was largely anti-slavery, and there was a strong abolitionist movement that influenced political discourse. While economic considerations, such as the dependence on Southern cotton for the British textile industry, played a role in Britain's stance, there was also a moral opposition to the institution of slavery. Therefore, option D is the statement that does not accurately describe Britain's relationship with the Confederacy.
Answer:
D. Was not morally opposed to the Confederacy's use of slave labor.
Explanation:
Great Britain was heavily against the usage of slavery, abolishing slavery themselves in 1807 with the passage of Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. While Great Britain did not entirely align with the ideology of the Confederate States of America, they were dependent on the raw cotton produced by the CSA. However, with cotton sources opening up in India, Great Britain relied less on the CSA.
