What two factors kept England from throwing its full support to the Confederacy?

Supporting the Confederacy would have led to outright war with the United States. It would have also caused labor issues, since the industrial workers sympathized with the slaves and were openly opposed to slavery, and some threatened to leave their jobs rather than support the slave holding Confederacy.

Confederate leaders hoped that a victory in Union territory would win support from which countries?

The Confederacy hoped that the United Kingdom and the French Empire would support them, as these were arguably the two most powerful countries in the world at the time. Additionally, these two countries generally didn't like the idea of a powerful United States, so each had an interest in helping the Confederacy break away. However, Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863 largely ended those hopes. England and France had both banned slavery already, and now could not support the Confederacy, which sought to retain slavery. Later in the summer of 1863, devastating Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg made it clear that the Confederacy had little hope of ultimately winning the war.


What country did the north fear the was an ally of the confederacy?

The North was in fear that Great Britian was an ally of the Confederacy. The theory was that the Confederacy would exchange cotton for British military and naval supplies. There was even a document proposing that Jefferson Davis would give control of the Confederacy to the Queen of England and in exchange the Confederacy would be treated as a "Priveledged Colony". (Great Britian coincidentally had a cotton surplus the year that the Confederacy offered cotton for military and naval supplies.)
