England did not provide any large-scale assistance to the Confederacy during the Civil War. Blockade-runners did manage to ship some cotton to Britain and smuggle weapons and ammunition into the Confederacy, but England remained neutral throughout the conflict.

What side did Britain take during the civil war?

Neither side. Britain remained carefully neutral for the duration of the Civil War, refusing to recognize the sovereignty of the South while continuing to trade with it, but also refusing to side with the North. Southern weaponry and other war materiel was produced in Great Britain and exported to the Confederacy through the Union blockade by Confederate blockade runners. Great Britain had become dependent on Southern cotton for its textile industry, but it had seen the Civil War coming and stockpiled cotton to make the country less dependent on Southern exports after the war began. British relations with the United States were still touchy at best, and Great Britain was not inclined to make them worse by siding openly with the Confederate States, despite a political affinity with them. The above refers to the American Civil War. In the English Civil War, Englishman was fighting Englishman.
