Cotton History

I am stuck. I couldn't find any related articles so any help would be appreciated.

How did this reliance on cotton production affect the South's relations with the North as well as socially and morally?

The North had textile mills, the south grew cotton
Law of supply and demand meant that the north had to help protect cotton production

Britain was the manufacturer of the world for the early part of the 19th Century. Cotton (and wool, linen & other raw materials) would come into her ports & be taken by canal & later by rail to the mills in the north. Places like Saltaire & Cromford. From there the raw cotton was spun & then woven into cloth & then transported back to the ports & everywhere in the world - often to the countries where the raw cotton had come from, like India.

The term Whig was taken from English politics, the name of a faction that opposed royal tyranny... in the US the Whig party consisted of states’ rights advocates, and supporters of the American System. In some respects the Whigs were the descendants of the old Federalist Party, supporting the Hamiltonian preference for strong federal action in dealing with national problems.

The issue of slavery split the party. “Conscience Whigs” in the North favored the abolition of slavery and halting the institution's spread into new territories. The “Cotton Whigs” in the South took the opposite viewpoints. Following Whig Winfield Scott’s poor showing in the 1852 Presidential election, the southerners moved to the Democratic Party and the northerners to the newly formed Republican Party.

Basically, the Cotton Whigs joined with the Southern Democrats and started the secession and Civil War.
