The cotton was sold to cotton mills mainly located in southern states. Millions of bales of cotton were also shipped to Europe. English mills bought southern cotton so much that the southern states thought the English would help them in the civil war, but they had full wear houses of bales of cotton. By-the-way the cotton mills produced much of the cotton fabric sold in the United States until the 1980's.
