Well, yes and I was aware of that fact. But then cotton was not something that the north really lacked or had an overwhelming need for. I’m aware that there were textile mills in the north, but I’ve never heard of huge economic consequences in the north from the lack of southern cotton during ‘the late unpleasantness’.

As near as I can tell there wasn’t much coming from the south that north couldn’t get from somewhere else if they really had to have it. The opposite wasn’t true for the south. On top of that, the north had California gold and Nevada silver to help buy whatever they needed.
