This is question #1:
Did the Russian fleet protect our borders of America during the civil war?

ok
Ok heres what I have so far.
Nov 8, 1861 - The beginning of an international diplomatic crisis for President Lincoln as two Confederate officials
sailing toward England are seized by the U.S. Navy. England, the leading world power, demands their release,
threatening war. Lincoln eventually gives in and orders their release in December. "One war at a time," Lincoln remarks.
=================================================
Although in history Russia and the US went their different ways, at the turning-point, crucial moments common
interests invariably united them. During the war of the British colonies in North America for independence
(1775-1783) the stand of Russia, which proclaimed in 1780 the Declaration of Armed Neutrality, actually scuttled the
attempt by Britain to establish a naval blockade of the young overseas republic. Later, in the years of the Civil
War in the US (1861-1865), Russia, by rejecting France's proposal to jointly intervene with Britain in favor of the
rebellious South, showed itself to be the only power interested in preserving the integrity of the United States. It
is equally symbolic that serfdom in Russia and slavery in the US were abolished almost simultaneously - in 1861 and 1863.

Singularly enough, the one European country which showed a definite friendship for the Northern government was Czarist Russia. In the fall of 1863 two Russian fleets entered American waters, one in the Atlantic and one in the Pacific. They put into New York and San Francisco harbors and spent the winter there, and the average Northerner expressed both surprise and delight over the visit, assuming that the Russian Czar was taking this means of warning England and France that if they made war in support of the South, he would help the North. Since pure altruism is seldom or never visible in any country's foreign relations, the business was not quite that simple. Russia at the time was in some danger of getting into a war with England and France, for reasons totally unconnected with the Civil War in America; to avoid the risk of having his fleets icebound in Russian ports, the Czar simply had them winter in American harbors. If war should come, they would be admirably placed to raid British and French commerce. For many years most Americans believed that for some inexplicable reason of his own the Czar had sent the fleets simply to show his friendship for America.

1863: President Abraham Lincoln discovers the Tsar of Russia, Alexander II (1855 – 1881), was having problems with the Rothschilds as well as he was refusing their continual attempts to set up a central bank in Russia. The Tsar then gives President Lincoln some unexpected help.
The Tsar issued orders that if either England or France actively intervened in the American Civil War, and help the South, Russia would consider such action a declaration of war, and take the side of President Lincoln. To show that he wasn't messing about, he sent part of his Pacific Fleet to port in San Francisco and another part to New York.
The Rothschild banking house in Naples, Italy, C. M. de Rothschild e figli, closes following the unification of Italy. The Rothschilds use one of their own in America, John D. Rockefeller, to form an oil business called Standard Oil which eventually takes over all of its competition.
Shit just starts to come together when you look for it.
