### Answer

The statement is **False**.

After the issuance of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in September 1862, support from England (and most of the United Kingdom) for the Confederate states began to wane significantly. While there was some initial sympathy towards the Confederacy due to economic interests, particularly in cotton, the moral implications of slavery became increasingly significant. The Emancipation Proclamation, which declared the freedom of all enslaved persons in Confederate-held territory, shifted the focus of the war and made it more difficult for England to justify support for the Confederacy without appearing to endorse slavery. As a result, England ultimately remained neutral during the American Civil War, declining to recognize or support the Confederacy.
