Best Answer

Great Britain and Continental Europe were determined to remain neutral in the American Civil War. When the Confederate embargo hit them, they found other sources of cotton such as Egypt and India, thereby shattering the Confederacyâ??s plans of blackmailing them into supporting them.

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.
