DiogenesLamp: "All that cotton was shipped on New York controlled ships and under New York controlled contracts. "

You assertion on this, as with everything else, is not supported by data, only by your own pro-Confederate mythology.
The real truth is that cotton producers chose whichever shippers they wished, based on various factors, including price and availability.
Nothing prevented them from using Southern owned & operated ships, and shipping directly to their European customers.

Bro, you are fond of sending us all links to various histories. Well the fact that all the shipping was locked up by the New England/New York shipping industry just happens to be one of the things that you sent to me.

Do you not even read your own links?
