Davis suspended all cotton exports for a time, to make the world feel the loss of this commodity, to discourage them from any future boycotting of Confederate trade. But in that year, there was a glut of cotton on the world market, and other countries felt no great disruption to their textile business.
At this early point, Davis could have used cotton to buy weapons from Europe. But in a few months, the blockade had become effective, and the South could not have exported cotton in any quantity if they tried.
