Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. France remained officially neutral throughout the American Civil War and never recognized the Confederate States of America. However, several major industries in France and the then French leader Louis Napoleon III had economic interests or territorial ambitions which favored dealings with the Confederacy. At the same time, other French political leaders, such as Foreign Minister Edouard Thouvenel, favored the United States. Between 1861 and 1865, the Union blockade caused a significant decreasing of the French cotton importation, leading to the "famine du coton"(cotton hunger): textile industries of Alsace, Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Normandy suffered from this shortage of raw material (which doubled in price in 1862) and were forced to dismiss many workers.
