Did the confederacy expected the European nations to officially recognize its new government in order to insure continued shipments of southern tobacco?

Many people in the Confederacy expected certain European nations to recognize its new government. The main reason was that the South was a main source of cotton for England as example. At various times during the US Civil War, England came close to recognizing the Confederacy as an independent nation. As it turned out, Confederate battle losses combined with its institution of slavery caused them to defer on official recognition. With that said, the French and British continued to trade with the South. What Confederate leaders failed to take into consideration was that some Europeans were less inclined to offer official recognition to the South because they did not wish to be seen as victims of Southern extortion. This pertained to a minority of European leaders.


Why did Great Britain and France not recognize the Confederate States of America?

It was not in the interests of either France or England to formerly recognize the Confederacy. With that said, both nations gave aid and support to the South. Most of which came from England.The British knew that the Confederacy was a de facto independent nation. It had a capitol, a constitution and a standing army. The South borrowed funds from both nations and Britain built warships for the South. Many European international law experts claimed the Union's blockade of Southern ports was an act of war, and that in itself created the South as an independent state at war with the US.
