The CSA did not have good relations with any super powers. They had to meet in secret and were never acknowledged. The only part of any super power relationship that actually benefited the CSA was buying cotten smuggled out on the black market and allowing the sale of old warships and they never actually arrived. Also the idea that southern soldiers were better is an idea backed up by the lost cause for decades now, and doesn't seem to be universally true.

Sounds like you'd like this one.
"The Lion And The Fox" by Alexander Rose. True story of the Union and Confederates in England, trying to control the seas.
Ooh, I probably would, thanks for the recommendation! This was a single chapter in a book I read that covered the whole history of the war.
