This is the exhaustive, definitive study of Southern attempts to gain international support for the Confederacy by leveraging the cotton supply for European intervention during the Civil War. Using previously untapped sources from Britain and France, along with documents from the Confederacy's state department, ""King Cotton Diplomacy"" is the first archival-based study of Confederate diplomacy.
For the assistance given the Confederacy by British shipping interests, as well as for a definitive criticism of Confederate and Northern policy, consult King Cotton Diplomacy by Frank L. Owsley. - Time Magazine ""On its initial publication King Cotton Diplomacy was hailed as a definitive study of Confederate foreign affairs. It was most highly acclaimed for its fresh interpretations of the reasons why England and France refused to grant recognition and aid to the Confederacy. Harriet Chappell Owsley presents a new and revised edition... and has in many places tightened and improved the literary style, but she has permitted the new volume to retain both the substance and the flavor of the earlier edition."" - Mississippi Valley Historical Journal
