Thy thought that selling cotton and other produce abroad would allow them to buy the munitions they needed, and that foreign governments would come to their aid, as the French had done for the US in the American Revolution. Instead, the blockade prevented trade, and the Emancipation Proclamation prevented foreign intervention because no foreign nation want to be seen as pro-slavery.

Most southerners weren't for the war, they just wanted freedom from the North and the ability to own slaves. Less than 5% of the people in the South owned even a single slave.

Before the Civil War 85% of the national budget was collected in the southern states.
