The South instituted King Cotton Diplomacy which consisted of the trying to create a cotton shortage by destroying millions of bales of cotton. Unfortunately, England had a cotton surplus and it took two years for it to kick in. When it did, the price of cotton jumped from ten cents a pound to close to two dollars a pound. Cotton shortages in the north lead to war profiteering with Union army officers confiscating and selling any cotton they could find. The South hoped to attract financial and military help from Europe and received 600,000 pieces of military equipment as well as the sloop-of-war CSS Alabama (<em>which destroyed 65 Union vessels</em>) from the UK even though there were cotton workers in England who refused to touch cotton picked by slaves. After the war, cotton production continued and by 1870 more cotton was produced than in 1860, with the US the largest producer of cotton until 1937.

PLZZ HELP ME ASAP DUE SOON I WILL TRY TO GIVE BRAINLY

never [62]

Answer:

This morning our commanding officer told us that today we were going to have to charge German lines. Last week when we met their line we suffered heavy casualties. The current officer we have now is considerably young. I am worried that today we will suffer again. We have constantly been on the edge of running out of supplies. No matter, I will continue to fight in hope of bringing this war to an end.

---After the charge on the trenches--

We were able to take the German trench. Though it seems to be abandoned of supplies. The fight was surprisingly short. We called in a artillery barrage that crippled two of their machine gun nest. I hope the future fights prove to be the easy. It does seem that the Germans have lost their morale or just don't have enough supplies to fighting.

His tenure is important because the territories of the United States increased one third. He secured Oregon territory from the Britishers and California after the American-Mexican war which stretched from 1846 to 1848.
