i think B, During the Civil War, many European textile factories had found suppliers outside the South. [ Additionally, while the conflict had been going on,Europe had sought out other sources,particularly from Egypt and India, so there was competition in the global market to supply cotton,and this helped to keep the price down after 1865. ]
