Question
Walter Burling smuggled seeds of a variety of this crop into the US inside dolls while on a mission from James Wilkinson to alert the Mexican government about the Burr conspiracy. A series of Charles Minard flow maps illustrates how European markets increasingly imported this good from India in the 1860s. William Thayer worked with the viceroy Sa’id Pasha to promote production of this good in (*) Egypt to relieve a so-called “famine” of it in Lancashire. Beginning in the late 18th century, an upland variety of this crop replaced the delicate Sea Island variety. This was the primary crop blockaded in the Anaconda Plan. For 10 points, what crop was nicknamed “King” for its central role in the economy of the American South? ■END■
ANSWER: cotton [accept varieties of cotton such as Petit Gulf cotton or Sea Island cotton]
