What was the impact/influence of Queen Victoria on the Civil War?

[JMadonna]

Queen Vic - not much. Prince Albert stated England's neutral policy before he died and she more or less went into mourning/exile for the next 20 years.

If you meant to ask Did England impact the way the battles were fought, most definitely. McClellan was on the verge of victory in the Peninsular campaign when Lincoln pulled him back to defend Washington. He was afraid that England would support the South if they took the capitol.
