Best Answer

At the onset of the US Civil War, British textile mills, that were large importers of Southern cotton were not affected in that approximately one million bales of surplus cotton were stored in Liverpool warehouses. As the war progressed, however, the surplus was used up, and until cotton from other sources were obtained, the British textile mills had to lay off many workers and some mills were closed.
