The South made a last-minute effort to get help by promising England and France to abolish slavery, but no one cared. That marked the downfall of the South.
England and Frances role were vital in the Civil War. If they had joined either side the war would have been a lot easier for that side. They helped both sides with ships and if they hadn’t been there the South would have fallen as whole lot easier. They were extremely important to both sides and that’s why both sides tried so hard to get their support.
