Lord Palmerston and some others felt Great Britain made a mistake by not supporting the Confederacy. He in particular was not a proponent of slavery -- or the US. He felt that by seeing the Confederacy gain its independence, it would weaken our nation as a whole, preserving Great Britain's role as a pre-eminent power even longer. He felt eventually, the US would probably overtake his country, which we did during WWII.
The British Navy could have changed the outcome and put a stop to the Anaconda plan.
