Why was international recognition so important to the Confederacy?

The Confederacy was able to obtain loans because it was a defacto state. This is illustrated by international law as it pertained to a blockade of foreign cargo ships attempting to dock at Southern ports. The South would have been able to gain more loans if the international community formally recognized its independence. The South had a government, a constitution and a standing army. It therefore qualified as a nation. Since Britain also bought food from the Union, it was not in her self interest to make the US an enemy. Despite that, a good number of warships were built by Britain for the South.
