I think it was called the “free produce boycott” or something like that.

Northern and Eastern states were also boycotting sugar and rum from the UK because they were produced with slave labor.

Are you aware of a good history of the pre-civil war years that explains how slavery in the south was going extinct and the war was not necessary?

I had not heard of the anti-cotton boycott before, and I am interested in reading more about those efforts. I always held Lincoln in high esteem and the civil war as inevitable in light of the failure of Buchanan’s failure as a president and the seemingly intractable divide in the US.
