AHC/WI : Pro-Circassian support in XIXth

Would have been it possible to see a Western support on behalf of Circassians, maybe not something equivalent to Greek national support, but at least partially so, against Russian conquest then ethnic cleansing?
Would a delayed deportation could have gaven a more interesting opportunity doing so during Crimean War?

What would have been the consequences of such movement?

Did the Russians try to kill a large number of Christian Circassians if so there a small chance if just Muslims there no hope

There was at least a degree of interest in the cause- here are some brief notes I took on one of their meetings:

“A public meeting was held on Wednesday, in the Town Hall, to hear addresses from two Circassian chiefs, who had been deputed by their countrymen to visit this country with a view of exciting a movement in their favour against the oppressive conduct of the Russian Government. The attendance was very numerous, the room being crowded in every part.” George Crawshay commented “The Ambassadors of the Confederate States were received in person by Earl Russell, and why should they receive a courtesy and consideration which was denied to the Ambassadors from Circassia? (Shame).” (Sheffield Independent, 18 October 1862)

From memory I've seen a few of these elsewhere, but I'd have to trawl through my paper notes to find out exactly when. The problem is that it's never as popular a cause as Polish independence, and Britain has very little ability to project power to the Black Sea.

ye, someone's killing weird-looking tribal savage non-European non-Christian mountaineers god knows where?
And what?

I mean that would have been too hard to turn the Western public opinion against it.
At that time the West did the same killing in it's colonies and proud of it. oh, well the USA didn't have any colonies to speak of, but the American Indians came in handy
