New York and New England capitalists controlled the South's cotton trade by the middle of the 19th century. To a large extent, large cotton plantation owners in the South also played a role in controlling US cotton trade.

Why Was The Souths Strategy called The king Cotton diplomacy?

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. The cotton part is obvious and 'diplomacy' international trade and trading with France and Britain is international. which is why it is called the King Cotton Diplomacy.

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.
