Why was it important to keep England neutral during the Civil War?
Initially, the tendency of Great Britain was to support the Confederacy, on the theory that as the original 13 Colonies had a right to independence from Great Britain, so the Confederacy ought to have a right to independence from the United States. If British support were actively given to the Confederacy, munitions and other resources would flow to them and it would be more difficult, and perhaps impossible to defeat them. The Union therefore needed to keep Great Britain neutral in that conflict. Once the Civil War became clearly about the abolition of slavery rather than just holding unwilling states in the Union, that became much easier because Great Britain had already abolished slavery and was actively opposing the slave trade along the African coast.

Why did the South have no intentions to have a war with Great Britain?
There was nothing that ever indicated that the Southern States, the Confederacy, was ever in a situation regarding a war with Great Britain. Great Britain helped the Confederacy by building a small number of fast light, ironclads to help it thwart the Union's blockade of Southern seaports. These vessels were successful in sinking a sizable number of Union ships.
