The United States, since the mid-XIX, is clearly a country destined to be THE world great power. They have a coastline in both oceans, a good deal of arable land, geographic isolation from military invasion and natural resources. The British are a world power centered in the British Isles, they were really powerful in the eighteen hundreds but its natural that they will be defied some time later when the other great powers catch up. OTL the British ended in a position of relative subservience in relation to Washington, a good partnership no-doubt but not the most desirable position for London.
I'm wondering if the good move to preserve the British Empire supremacy in the long run would be to support the CSA and balkanize the USA as much as possible, because to me it seems that it was a logical thing to do to avoid to American hegemony surpassing the Pax Britannica.
What are your thoughts in the subject?
PS: Please don't bring Germany up cuz the British politicians at the time of the American Civil War didn't knew about the imminent rise of the German Empire and Prussia alone was hardly a threat to the British Empire.
