What Souths strategy of cotton diplomacy was based on?
The South's strategy of cotton diplomacy during the Civil War was based on leveraging its cotton production to gain international support, particularly from Britain and France. Southern leaders believed that European reliance on Southern cotton for their textile industries would compel these nations to intervene on the Confederacy's behalf or at least recognize its sovereignty. They aimed to create a shortage of cotton in Europe, hoping that economic pressure would lead to diplomatic recognition and potential military assistance. However, this strategy ultimately failed as European nations found alternative cotton sources and were reluctant to support the Confederacy due to the moral implications of slavery.
Which was the Souths greatest resource at the start of the civil war?

It was called the King Cotton Diplomacy because A 'King' is in charge of everything and the south believed that if they didn't sell their cotton to Britain and France, then they would be forced to help break the North's blockades which is what a 'King' can do.

Don't try to argue with me :) its in the S.S teachers textbook. :)
