Which of the following describes a Confederate strategy for winning the civil war?

The Confederacy initially hoped to gain international allies in their war against the Union. They believed this strategy could help them win the war. The Confederates believed that Great Britain had to support them because of its dependency on cotton. However, Great Britain had other sources of cotton in India and Egypt. John Slidell, on the other hand, travelled as a diplomat to Paris in order to secure support. Neither country was willing to help them, and no European country appointed any diplomat to the Confederacy.
