It appears that France was reluctant to actively support the Confederacy unless Great Britain did so as well. We often hear the British Navy could have broken the Union blockade, but did France have the Navy that could have accomplish this with out British help? I know the French Army was being used in other important ways and that France may not have had too many land troop to send to the Confederacy. But could France have spared enough ships for the time it would take for them to break the Union blockade?
