There were actually two major crises.
The first was the Yankee seizure of two Confederate envoys to England -- off a British ship at sea. If Lincoln hadn't released them and apologized for violating English sovereign territory (her ship), it's likely England would have considered it an act of war and allied itself with the Confederates.
During the same period, several English shipmakers were furnishing ships to the Confederates, violating (in the view of Lincoln) England's claim of neutrality. After considerable protestations by the North, England ceased this activity.

By April 1861, nearly all forts, post offices, and other federal buildings in the South were controlled by the Confederate states. After the secession of several Southern states from the Union, Confederate forces took over these federal properties, as tensions escalated leading to the Civil War. The most notable example was Fort Sumter in South Carolina, which was attacked by Confederate forces on April 12, 1861, marking the beginning of the conflict.

After a speaker bitterly denounced England, an uproarious outcry from the crowd nearly caused a riot.
The so-called Trent Affair was an interaction between the US and Great Britain on the high seas. In December of 1861, a Union warship stopped a British ship, the RMS Trent in the Atlantic Ocean and seized two Confederate emissaries Mason and Slidell. The British protested and was prepared to use force from Canada to settle the matter. President Lincoln had the emissaries released ending the threat of English intervention.
Atlanta and Richmond were the two major confederate cities which were nearly burned to the ground late in the Civil War.

There was one naval incident where a US Navy ship fired across the bows of a British vessel that was carrying two Confederate envoys, who were arrested and taken to Washington. This nearly caused a war with Britain.

England was upset about the arrest of James Mason and John Slidell because they were Confederate diplomats traveling on a British ship, the RMS Trent, to negotiate support for the Confederacy during the American Civil War. The Union's seizure of the diplomats was seen as a violation of international law and an affront to British sovereignty. This incident nearly led to a diplomatic crisis between the United States and Great Britain, as England demanded their release and threatened war if they were not returned. Ultimately, the U.S. government released Mason and Slidell to defuse the tension.
Nearly, but not quite.
Andersonville, in Georgia.. However, there were northern prisons nearly as bad.
You cannot ask a Confederate any questions. Or rather, you can ask any question you like, but since the last Confederate soldier died of old age nearly 100 years ago, you wouldn't get much of an answer.
Probably. There are still racits in nearly every state, and Georgia was part of the confederate.
