Description: The story of cotton and its importance during the American Civil War. From Shotgun's Home of the American Civil War.
In 1858 Senator James Henry Hammond of South Carolina replied to Senator William H. Seward of New York: "Without the firing of a gun, without drawing a sword, should they [Northerners] make war upon us [Southerners], we could bring the whole world to our feet. What would happen if no cotton was furnished for three years? . . England would topple headlong and carry the whole civilized world with her. No, you dare not make war on cotton! No power on earth dares make war upon it. Cotton is King."
