True.
Britain weighed its interests and decided not to back the Confederacy. While British industry wanted Southern cotton, Britain also depended on wheat and other food imports from the Union (and feared the consequences of disrupting that trade), could find cotton elsewhere, and faced strong anti-slavery and political reasons not to intervene.
