Yes - and possibly the French as well.
It all depended on the credibility of the Confederate nation and its army.
The British were waiting to see whether the invasion of Pennsylvania would succeed. Then they would have granted recognition.
Lee probably would have won, if a Confederate officer had not managed to drop a set of orders in the field, which were found by Union soldiers and shown to General McLellan.
