All European nations had been severely damaged by WW 2. If the US did not provide assistance, many people would die- starvation and exposure. Those nations would turn to the only other possible source of aid- the Soviet Union.
The Emancipation Proclamation led to the freeing of slaves, some of which joined the Union Army (helping the Union, partly, to prevail in the Civil War). European countries did not support the South in the American Civil War. International support for the North in the American Civil War increased. More African Americans in the south joined the union army.
Great Britain played an important role in the conflict between the United States and American Indians on the western frontier. They had a strong presence in the region and sought to maintain their power and influence in North America. In the late 1700s Great Britain signed several treaties with some of the Native American tribes such as the Iroquois and Delaware Nations in which they promised to protect these communities from US expansion. As the US continued to establish new settlements often in violation of these treaties Great Britain sought to mediate the conflict and protect their Native allies. In some cases British soldiers were dispatched to the western frontier to protect Native American lands and support their sovereignty. Great Britain also provided support to the Native Americans in other ways. They supplied weapons ammunition and other supplies to the tribes and provided them with access to the British trading networks. In addition the British Crown offered refuge to some of the Native American leaders such as the Shawnee chief Tecumseh and provided a safe haven for them to organize and plan their resistance to US expansion.
