The OftenForgotten Global Story Of How The Confederacy Lost Its Bid For Sovereign Nationhoodin 1861, Proslavery Secessionists Severed Ties With The United States, Launched The Confederacy, And Readied Their New Government To Join The International Community As A Sovereign Nation. In The First Pariah State, Robert Bonner Tells The Story Of How A Transatlantic Publicity Campaign Dashed Confederate Hopes By Ostracizing Its Rebellion As An Immoral, Global Menace.The International AntiConfederate Campaign Built On Existing Antislavery Themes But Moved Far Beyond Them. Improvised Indictments Circulated Secessionists Most Incendiary Words Across The World. The Union And Its Foreign Allies Condemned The Marauding Southern Navy For Disrupting HighSeas Commerce, Violating Civilized Norms, And Preparing For The Resumption Of The African Slave Trade. Abraham Lincoln And Senator Charles Sumner Sought To Convert Rhetorical Barbs And Maritime Anxieties Into Novel Doctrines Of International Law Designed To Counter Rogue Regimes. And Union OpinionMakers, Including Black Abolitionists, Worked With European Supporters To Stymie The SouthS Naval Expansion, War Finances, And Diplomatic Efforts To Gain Formal Recognition.International Worries About The Confederate Rebellion Waned After U.S. Victory, And The Southern Pariahdom Of The 1860S Left Few Enduring Traces In International Law Or Overseas Remembrances. In Fact, Over The Next Century And A Half, The ProConfederate Lost Cause Mythology Proved To Be As Powerful Abroad As It Was Within The Restored United States.
