Neither side. Britain remained carefully neutral for the duration of the Civil War, refusing to recognize the sovereignty of the South while continuing to trade with it, but also refusing to side with the North. Southern weaponry and other war materiel was produced in Great Britain and exported to the Confederacy through the Union blockade by Confederate blockade runners. Great Britain had become dependent on Southern cotton for its textile industry, but it had seen the Civil War coming and stockpiled cotton to make the country less dependent on Southern exports after the war began. British relations with the United States were still touchy at best, and Great Britain was not inclined to make them worse by siding openly with the Confederate States, despite a political affinity with them. The above refers to the American Civil War. In the English Civil War, Englishman was fighting Englishman.

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).
