Empire Français (French Empire)

France recognises the Confederate States of America as an independent country, and just like any new country it begins with hostility.
I hope that this new country thrives and that friendly communications between France and the CSA can be negotiated to further help this new land. I support the British Empire's decision to stop the bullying from the USA and will hopefully be able to help the CSA in future endeavours.
Any attack from The Union to The Confederacy will not only be an act or war against The British Empire but also on the French Empire as well.
