Answer 1

One reason why the South was certain of gaining support from England and France was because "Their need for cotton would make them allies with the South," since Britain had a very high demand for cotton during this time.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "The South was a manufacturing center for both countries". Before the Civil war took place in the United States, the South was certain that they could have the support from England and France. They believed that since these two European countries needed the cotton that they were manufacturing, they would assist them during the War.
