Why was the south's confidence in king Cotton misplaced and What southern economic weaknesses were exposed by the war?
The South believed that because of King Cotton European powerhouses such as Britain or France would come to their aid in the Civil War because they relied on the South's cheaper cotton. After a certain point in the war, Britain and France realized it would be useless to join the war on the side of the South.

How did the first battle of bullrun affect the southern view of their Yankee enemies?
The First Battle of Bull Run, fought in July 1861, significantly bolstered Southern confidence and pride, leading many in the South to view their Yankee enemies as less formidable than previously thought. The Confederate victory underscored the effectiveness of their military strategy and morale, fostering a sense of superiority and belief in the righteousness of their cause.
