Answer 1

The correct response is to win the support of Britain and France.

The Confederate States of America sought international recognition and support, particularly from Britain and France, both of which had significant economic interests in cotton. By prohibiting the importation of slaves, the Confederacy aimed to present a more favorable image and potentially gain assistance from these countries during the Civil War.
