*runaway slaves from the north
*northern slave owners and sympathizers
*european countries that needed cotton

Before the Civil War, the South thought that European countries that needed cotton would assist them.

Explanation:

Once the war with the United States began, the chances of survival of the Confederation went through the support and military intervention of France and Great Britain.

The Confederates thought that the United Kingdom would support them to obtain cotton, they even used a phrase that they proclaimed, "cotton is king". Later it would be shown that they were wrong, as British merchants in 1861 had large stores of cotton and could also get more cotton from the crops of India and Egypt, while the food supply in Britain depended much more on wheat and barley that were imported from the United States.

The best chance for the official recognition of the Confederation by the United Kingdom occurred after the Second Battle of Manassas, when the British government prepared to mediate the conflict, but the victory of the Union in the Battle of Antietam and Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation, together with internal opposition, caused the government of Great Britain to stay out of the conflict; In fact, diplomatic recognition of the slave Confederation in Europe was unfeasible as the British and French had advocated for the emancipation of black slaves for so long.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
