The south expected support from Britain and France because these two European nations relied on the south for?

The South expected support from Britain and France during the Civil War primarily because these nations relied on Southern cotton for their textile industries. The South believed that the economic importance of cotton would compel Europe to intervene on their behalf. Additionally, Britain and France had strategic interests in weakening the United States, which they viewed as a potential rival. However, while there was some sympathy for the Southern cause, the anticipated support did not materialize to the extent the Confederacy had hoped.

Did Southern States request help from Great Britain in the Civil War?

It appears as though Jefferson Davis was seeking Great Britain's support and the South assumed such support because they supplied 75% of Great Britain's cotton. And though many of the weapons and supplies for the war came from Breat Britain to the South, Great Britain seems to be selling to the highest bidder. And some products even went to both the North and the South. Yet the events of the Trent Affair almost pushed them to declare their clear support for the South -- almost pushing them into war with the North -- even to the point of strengthening their manpower at their borders in Canada. However, the resolution of this incident actually strengthened their relationship with the United States of America. So even though the South called on Great Britain for support -- other than a business opportunities for Great Britain to make money -- Great Britain remained neutral and through the events that lead to negotiations, the relationship with the North and Great Britain was strengthened. So the question "Did Great Britain support the South?" is answered no - other than the business support also available to the North. But the question "did the Southern States request help from Great Britain in the Civil War?" The answer is YES. (though that request kind of backfired and secured Britain's neutrality and strengthened their confidence in negotiations with the North).
