The Confederacy hoped that the United Kingdom and the French Empire would support them, as these were arguably the two most powerful countries in the world at the time. Additionally, these two countries generally didn't like the idea of a powerful United States, so each had an interest in helping the Confederacy break away.
However, Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863 largely ended those hopes. England and France had both banned slavery already, and now could not support the Confederacy, which sought to retain slavery. Later in the summer of 1863, devastating Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg made it clear that the Confederacy had little hope of ultimately winning the war.
