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.
