V. Dethroning King Cotton 1.The South was depending on foreign intervention to win the war, but didnât get it. 2.While the European countries wanted the Union to be split (which would strengthen their nation, relatively speaking), their people were pro-North and anti-slavery, and sensing that this was could eliminate slavery once and for all, they would not allow any intervention by their nations on behalf of the South. The reason for the pro-North, anti-slavery stance by the people, was the effect of Uncle Tomâs Cabinâbeing lowly wage earners, the common people felt Uncle Tomâs pain. 3.Still, the Southern ideas was that the war would produce a shortage of cotton, which would draw England and others into the war, right? Wrong. â¦In the pre-war years, cotton production had been immense, and thus, England and France had huge surpluses of cotton. â¦As the North won Southern territory, it sent cotton and food over to Europe. â¦India and Egypt upped their cotton production to offset the hike in the price of cotton. 4.So, King Wheat and King Corn (of the North) beat King Cotton of the South, since Europe needed the food much more than it needed the cotton.
