The diplomatic objective of the Confederacy was to?
The only thing I can imagine is they were trying to get England to come into the war on their side. They may well have done it until Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which would have put England on the side of slavery. The English people would not have stood for that. They wanted the aid of Great Britain and they believed England would support them because the South sold most of their cotton to England. But, England found cotton in the middle east and did not suffer from the loss of Southern cotton. Then, the Confederacy wanted to keep England neutral but the Emancipation prevented that because England had already outlawed slavery.
