Capitolo 94
"officers are of opinion that we have to consider the Civil War in America
how regular war[144]", but him ago _not_ makes comments on the legal advice to
you press the South to abandon privateering before recognizing her/it
belligerent rights, for this the only meaning is that you/he/she can be tied up to
the last sentence quoted from the memorandum of the lawyer-general. This
however, suggestion in perspective of the opinion that was not "help for him,"
it was presumably but a suggestion as to a possible diplomatic manoeuvre
with small trust that would succeed. The more "good solution" it was
not the probable, for the South, without a harbor soldier not quickly
produces his/her only naval weapon.
In these few days British policy was quickly matured and it announced. The
letter of May 4 to Lyons, affirming the Civil War to be one "regular war"
you/he/she was followed in May 6 by a formal education that gives the advance of Lyons
notice of the determination reached the locker to recognize the
belligerent rights of the South. Russell satisfied in a lot of expressions of
regret and understanding, but Lyons was not to conceal but this British
action represented the perspective of the Government of the actualities of the
American situation. Still while Lyons was not to conceal this opinion him
it was not educated to notify Seward, officially of the recognition of
Belligerency[145 Meridionale]. Here is a correct understanding of the
the difficulty of the diplomatic position to Washington, and an allowed
to avoid of Lyons of dangerous ground[146]. Russell was not aware then
of the tenacity with which Seward was to grab on to a theory, not yet
clearly formulated for foreign governments that the Civil War was a
rebellion of peoples rather than a conflict of governments but him ago
you seem to have understood the delicacy of formal notification to the
government constituted to Washington[147]. Besides his/her instructions
it was abreast of the British policy to refuse, currently a
recognition of the Southern sovereignty.
