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.
The south had produced bumper crops of cotton for the three years before the Civil War began. Warehouses in France and England were bulging with raw cotton, so there was no immediate shortage to idle mills and workers. Cotton continued to be exported by blockade runners during the war on a much smaller scale. The south would have been far better off had farmers stopped planting cotton and started growing food.
Yes, most notably the forged an alliance with England.
England was the main target of Confederate diplomacy, as England had the resources to help the South, and the motivation was there, as England was the largest cotton customer of the South. In the end, England decided not to get involved, and started developing cotton sources in India.
The growing demand for cotton by textile mills in England during the early 19th century fueled the American South's reliance on slave labor for cotton production, creating a deep economic connection between the two regions. This dependence on cotton trade contributed to the tensions between the North and South, as the South sought to protect its agricultural economy. The attack on Fort Sumter in 1861 marked the beginning of the Civil War, a conflict rooted in these economic disparities and the South's desire to maintain its slave-based cotton industry. Thus, the demand for cotton significantly influenced the political and social landscape leading up to the war.
During the Civil War, the south hoped to ally themselves with France and England.

Cotton Diplomacy is when the south tried to convince England to support the Civil war with cotton but they said no.
The South hoped to receive aid from England during the Civil War primarily due to England's reliance on Southern cotton for its textile industry. The South believed that the economic impact of a cotton shortage would compel England to intervene on their behalf. Additionally, there were cultural and historical ties between the South and England that the Confederacy hoped to leverage in gaining support. However, despite these hopes, England ultimately chose to remain neutral in the conflict.
The South was a manufacturing center for both countries.Their need for cotton would make them allies with the South. THIS ONEThe tariffs on Southern goods were lower than the North's. -NOT THIS ONE-

It depends where on the south of England you are. For most of England's south coast, if you travelled due south, you would land in France. However, if you were in Truro - or any point west of there, you would land in Spain.
