Such a war would tend to unite the people of the Northern States and divide Britain

Since France will probably have bigger internal problems OTL, they will probably lose the Franco-Prussian War a lot faster. Then Kaiser Wilhelm II might fire Bismarck and invade France, and since Great Britain just fought a war with the United States, it will not be able to defend France from Germany. Add an Irish revolt in Ireland against Great Britain, and things might end up really bad for both Great Britain and France.
I personally do not see any reason for France to support the CSA considering that it has nothing to gain from supporting the CSA, it recently failed in Mexico, and it has bigger problems in Europe itself (German unification and Prussian military aggression)
The North seized a British ship, an illegal action. It could actually do the opposite, depending on what moves the British make.
What if the British join the American Civil War, but the US still wins?
And how could this happen?
Lol, so England declaring war on the U.S. is now not only destroying the Union, but saving France as well. Does it mean India is still a British colony, the Boers are brought to heel, and Frenchmen dine regularly on their estates in Algeria and Vietnam today as well?
