The Northern blockade was the biggest factor, preventing the South from exchanging its cotton for the war supplies it needed.
At the beginning, the South decided to withhold cotton from the world market, to encourage other countries to intervene on behalf of the Confederates and break the blockade.
This turned out a blunder, as there was a glut of cotton on the market just then, so no country really felt the pressure, and by the time they changed their policy, the blockade had become highly effective.
The invention that had a huge impact on the economy of the southern US before the Civil War was the cotton gin. Invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, the cotton gin revolutionized the cotton industry by automating the process of removing seeds from cotton fibers. This boosted cotton production and made it more profitable for southern planters, solidifying the region's dependence on slave labor and leading to the expansion of cotton plantations.

The South and Britain had a cotton trade going at the time of the civil war. If Britain supported the North, the South would have cut of the supply of cotton to Britain. Britain though, actually was in favor of antislavery.
