Jefferson Davis sought to win foreign allies for the Confederacy primarily through diplomatic efforts and the promotion of cotton as a critical supply. He believed that the economic dependence of Britain and France on Southern cotton would compel these nations to support the Confederate cause. Additionally, Davis sent diplomats abroad to negotiate alliances and recognition, emphasizing the Confederacy's commitment to independence and its similarities to the American Revolution. Despite these efforts, foreign recognition and support ultimately did not materialize as he had hoped.
