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.
Why did the value of cotton grow?
During the Civil War the value of cotton grew because of the term Cotton Diplomacy. Basically the South threatened to not ship cotton to Great Britain and France if they did not help the South win the war. This failed horribly because the South was not the main shippers of cotton for Great Britain or France and both countries had eliminated slavery already so it was against their laws to help the south.
Why was the cotton diplomacy so important in the 1860's?
The South thought that their large supply of cotton was an advantage because England would want to help the South win the war. Although England already had a large supply and did not help the South at all.
