Answer 1

True

Answer 2

Southerners believed England was dependent on southern cotton for its textile industry. Better students will make the connection with the expanding British Empire at the time, as England acquired cotton through India and Egypt. This allowed England to stockpile cotton and to further lessen its dependency on the South. Also, good students will point out England's strong abolitionist movement, which was an important factor in the country's ongoing reluctance of the Confederacy. In another economic dimension, northern production and export of grain became important for the English economy. Students should also be encouraged to ask about the political and diplomatic implication of the proclamation. Lincoln facilitated the Confederacy's diplomatic failure with the proclamation, which helped prevent foreign intervention by turning the war into a crusade against slavery.
