Partly it is simply a question of not intervening in another's quarrels without good reason. But there are more substantial reasons. First off, there would have had to have been agreement among at least some of the leading European powers to intervene or such intervention would have led to diplomatic friction in Europe. Second, although the weakening of the United States through the Civil War may in general have been seen as a good thing elsewhere there was little or no sympathy with slavery as a system, making intervention on the Southern side problematic.

Sounds like your doing homework.
Main reasons are this:
1. It was a war among the states and their opinions. Not theres.
2. If they sided with oneside of the US, the other side would most definetly not offer any of its help to that country if they were to be in need of it.
3. The war was "Brother against Brother", and it was best back in the day to let family work out there own problems. Back then, getting involved in a feud among familys often was grounds to be killed by both of the parties involved.
Assuming you're talking about the US Civil War of course.
