I understand your question as related to the restriction the Confederate Government posed on the export of cotton to press the French and British Governments, in order to let them intervene in the conflict.
It did not work because:
1 - of the relatively large stocks of raw cotton French and British cotton mills had in their warehouses. That gave time to their government to organize alternative sources of supplying, thus preventing them from social turmoil, which supposedly would break in those countries in case of closure of the factories;
2 - although the above mentioned Governments' tendency was somewhat pro- intervention, independently of row cotton supplying, they were perfectly aware that
the large majority of public opinion was against an intervention, because it would have meant helping a slaveholder power to bring forth such a social system like the "peculiar institution" they abhorred. The British public opinion was particularly involved and sensitive about, because it was the British Government and the British Fleet which had mainly contributed to fight, destroy and abolish the slave trade and the slavery all over the world.
