What was the king cotton diplomacy of the US Civil War?
The term of "king cotton" was in use during the US Civil War. The Confederate government tried to use its leverage with European countries to become a recognized nation through the sales of cotton. In particular with Great Britain, because the textile mills in Great Britain were dependent on the cotton they purchased from Southern cotton plantation owners. The Confederates argued that the Union's blockades of Southern ports was preventing cotton to be shipped to England. They made the case that formal recognition of their Confederate government would help in lifting the blockade. This was a veiled attempt to have the navy of Great Britain assist the South by breaking Union ships port blockades.

Why was Southern cotton not reaching the factories of Europe during the US Civil War?
The European countries, especially Great Britain, found other places to get their cotton. Britain had colonies, such as India and Egypt, that gave them cotton at a cheaper price. The European countries also depended on the Union for wheat shipments. The Union threatened to cut off wheat shipments to Britain if it bought Confederate cotton and sold it arms in return. The lack of grain would lead to food shortages and internal unrest for the governments. There was too much risk involved in continuing to buy the cotton shipments from the Confederacy because grain was more important.

Did the confederacy expected the European nations to officially recognize its new government in order to insure continued shipments of southern tobacco?
Many people in the Confederacy expected certain European nations to recognize its new government. The main reason was that the South was a main source of cotton for England as example. At various times during the US Civil War, England came close to recognizing the Confederacy as an independent nation. As it turned out, Confederate battle losses combined with its institution of slavery caused them to defer on official recognition. With that said, the French and British continued to trade with the South. What Confederate leaders failed to take into consideration was that some Europeans were less inclined to offer official recognition to the South because they did not wish to be seen as victims of Southern extortion. This pertained to a minority of European leaders.
