Frank Lawrence Owsley, King Cotton Diplomacy: Foreign Relations of Confederate States of America

Description

Frank Owsley’s King Cotton Diplomacy, Revised Edition.

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; much on blockade running, too.
