As with his British counterparts, Seward found critics on both sides of the Atlantic for his actions in the course of controversies such as the Trent Affair and the potential for conflict over the Canadian border.

The leader of the nation most likely to intervene in the conflict, and at times Palmerston faced the temptation to do so. His own opinions on the conflict varied, from favoring a perpetually divided America weakened by a Southern victory, to a general desire for continued British neutrality. While the latter interest ultimately won out, the Prime Minister remained a face of percieved Confederate sympathies. Palmerston, members of his government, and others in Parliament garnered criticism from the Northern public and press, facing repeated pressures from the U.S. State department to both stay out of the conflict and address the matter of Confederate activity and support within the United Kingdom.

Lyons would later negotiate with Seward a new Anglo-American agreement in mid-1862, tackling the slave trade in the Atlantic. In part due to his strong working relationship with Seward, Lyons sympathized with the problems of the U.S., though he maintained a neutral perspective, and was prepared to put the interests of the British government first.

A prominent statesman prior to the outbreak of war, Adams worked tirelessly to preserve relations with his British counterparts, detailed throughout his letters and notes. His presence across the Atlantic was instrumental in Union efforts to prevent further British pressure and their possible entry into the war. Furthermore, the arguments Adams made in regards to legal justification and precedent in cases such as the Trent and Alabama controversies would later play a role in post-war negotiations. Primarily it factored into the arbitration of the Alabama Claims and the review of maritime neutrality law.

After being released, Slidell worked to encourage French action, though the nation largely based its decisions off the actions being taken by the United Kingdom. England remained neutral, despite persistent interest in mediating the conflict, with no such plan ever fully undertaken. Thus Slidell encountered little diplomatic success, though he generated sympathetic connections through French society. After the war, Slidell, as well as Mason, aided exiled Confederate officials leaving the U.S. settle in France and England.

This position, which he held for the duration of the American Civil War, put him into regular contact with the ambassadors of the Union and Confederate governments. Russell faced criticism both from both abroad and at home. He was a frequent target for Union frustrations over perceived Southern sympathies in British government, though he largely favored British neutrality as the status quo. Overall, his middling approach to handling controversies with the Union and the issue of British neutrality led to his unpopularity among some of his peers and the British public. Russell went on to serve as Prime Minister again following the death of Palmerston, though a brief Conservative rise to power removed him from the office.

William Howard Russell acted as the London Times's war correspondent abroad, documenting events in Crimea. An early pioneer in war reporting for press publications, Russell went on to cover the course of the American Civil War for the Times as well. Russell was especially prominent among the international reporters covering the conflict within the military lines of the North and South. Through his work, Russell followed armies to the battlefield, and regularly met with political leadership in the Union and Confederate governments, including President Lincoln. Particularly notable is his coverage of the First Battle of Bull Run and other early engagements, whose outcome generally favored the South. Russell's reporting of Union military performance, published in the Times, influenced early British expectations for the conflict and its final outcome.

Operating as a journalist in Alabama prior to the war, Hotze would later enter into work for the Confederate government.

Hotze spent the majority of the war working to spread Confederate-leaning sentiments throughout British journalism, including in the form of his own weekly publication, The Index. This image was likely taken around the timeframe of his journalism career and early service to the Confederate cause.
