It was not some "pipe dream" that there was a real chance for France and England to intervene in the US Civil War. Whether by recognizing the Confederacy as an independent nation, and/or mitigating a peace settlement. Here are some insights to what would have dramatically changed the results of the US Civil War:
1. The British government was going to begin activity concerning its possible intervention shortly after Lee crossing the Potomac River;
2. There was also the " Trent Affair" in which a US warship stopped a British ship carrying Confederate diplomats and taking them into custody. Britain demanded an apology and a wise President Lincoln did so, thereby ending British threats to use force to prevent any further such incidents; and
3. Based on a false report that McClellan's army in the Peninsula Campaign had been defeated totally, the British Cabinet was beginning to see a prospect for recognizing the South.
