...all side issue and BS ....the russ had nothing at all to do with the North winning the war....they were always going to with their superior resources , superiro railways and greater industrialisation
the war was won on land not at sea
Brtiain in no way intervened in the war ....brittish capitalists made money supplying bothsudes but but not in supporting
your orignial premise that russia stopped Britain from enterring the ar was flase because ; 1. Britain had nio intention of getting involved - they hated slavery and wished to see it stopped ! 2. the russian navy were a joke and the brits could've easily dealt with them if needed 3. IT WAS A LAND WAR anyway
there was no 100's and 100's of years of alliance between US and russia as you suggested .....it's all crafted as putin does to try and convince a lie
