France did not recognize the Confederacy during the American Civil War primarily due to a combination of diplomatic considerations and the desire to avoid alienating the United States. French Emperor Napoleon III was cautious about intervening in the conflict, as he sought to maintain good relations with the Union, which he viewed as a more stable and powerful government. Additionally, the lack of widespread support for the Confederacy among European powers and concerns over slavery further complicated any potential recognition. Ultimately, France opted for a neutral stance, focusing on its own imperial ambitions elsewhere.

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. Many European international law experts claimed the Union's blockade of Southern ports was an act of war, and that in itself created the South as an independent state at war with the US.
