Tales of Lost Civil War Treasures - Sunken Confederate Treasure and Arms off South Carolina Coast (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

As the War Between the States began gaining impetus in 1861, England maintained an official position of neutrality. Secretly, however, the British government supported the South. As the War momentum picked up speed, many representatives of the British government as well as a number of private citizens aligned themselves with the philosophies of the secessionist Confederacy. In addition, several prominent British industrialists had invested heavily in the American South; therefore supporting the Rebel cause remained in their best interests.
