British Colonel Arthur Freemantle; The Englishman at Gettysburg:

 LT COLONEL ARTHUR FREMANTLE AT GETTYSBURG 1863 - Magazine Article - Old Magazine Articles    "Arthur James Lyon Frementle (1835 – 1901) was an unofficial British observer of the Battle of Gettysburg. Holding the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Coldstream Guards, Fremantle's decision to travel to North America in order to witness the American Civil War was entirely his own.

His tour of the south made him admire the skill and determination of the Confederates, civil and military, and he predicted that the Confederacy must emerge victorious from the war. However, he was an honest observer and did not hesitate to mention spectacles which he found very disagreeable such as the sight of a slave auction in progress. Although sympathetic toward the Confederacy he was a fair-minded and impartial observer in a conflict that was to have immense repercussions. The general cause of monarchy was effected by the outcome, directly and indirectly. The defeat of the Confederacy spelled certain doom for the struggling Empire of Mexico and the rise of a re-United States as a major world power, inclined toward republicanism and often prejudiced against monarchy would mean many changes in the future as the New World came to play an ever larger role in the Old.". . .
