- King_Cotton abstract "King Cotton was a slogan summarizing the strategy used during the American Civil War by the Confederacy to show that secession was feasible and there was no need to fear a war by the United States. The idea was that control over cotton exports would make an independent Confederacy economically prosperous, ruin the textile industry of New England, and—most importantly—would force Great Britain and perhaps France to support the Confederacy militarily because their industrial economies depended on Southern cotton. The slogan was widely believed throughout the South and helped in mobilizing support for secession: by February 1861, the seven states whose economies were based on cotton plantations had all seceded and formed the Confederacy (C.S.A.). Meanwhile, the other eight slave states, with little or no cotton production, remained in the Union. To demonstrate the power of King Cotton, Southern cotton merchants spontaneously refused to ship out their cotton in early 1861; it was not a government decision. By summer 1861, the Union Navy blockaded every major Confederate port and shut down over 95% of exports. Since the British mills had large stockpiles of cotton, they were not immediately injured by the boycott; indeed the value of their stockpiles soared. For Britain to intervene meant war with the U.S. and a cutoff of food supplies. About one fourth of Britain's food supplies came from United States, and American warships could destroy much of British commerce, while the Royal Navy was convoying ships full of cotton. The British never believed in King Cotton, and they never intervened. Consequently, the strategy proved a failure for the Confederacy — King Cotton did not help the new nation, but the spontaneous blockade caused the loss of desperately needed gold. Most important, the false belief led to unrealistic assumptions that the war would be won by European intervention if only the Confederacy held out long enough.".
