For the CSA there was no need for British to force them to the negotiating table. In the year leading up to this the Confederacy had been suffering a string of devastating losses. The remains of the Army of Northern Virginia, under James Longstreet, had surrendered at Richmond, which also led to the fall of the Confederate capital Richmond. Then the second capital Danville, Virginia had been captured along with President Jefferson Davis. So by the time acting-President Alexander Stephens received the demand of a surrender from the British he had little choice but to go along with it. The Ottomans too were being overwhelmed by the Russian forces.
