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.
