A number of books and TLs have been written on the Trent War and other early war interventions - and I think the general consensus is that the US would lose fairly miserably.
I am interested in the effects of a British (and I would think, French) intervention later in the war, though I'm not sure what the proximate cause of it would be, but although by 1863 the Union army is quite a bit larger, and more importantly the same is true of the Union navy.
However Britain still had a stronger economy than the US in the 1860s so I think they could still win.
But I don't pretend to be an expert on the subject and that's why I would like to know what other people think, assuming that the British intervened (and I am very open to suggestions on what would cause it, and what time of the year would be most likely) what would have happened?
