Very good q...Hi, Anonymous! Thanks for commenting!<br /><br />Very good question. This may be a part of Amanda's character arc that plays out in the book. I guess you'll have to read the book to find out. ;) <br /><br />Also, it's important to note (Mary can probably elaborate on better than I) that with Union blockades, the South was unable to export most of her cotton. Under the "Captured and Abandoned Property Acts" of 1863 and 1864, Union armies could acquire the slave-grown cotton and sell it to Europe. I haven't read TLH yet, so I'm not sure, but Amanda may have been buying the cotton from the Union, and thereby supporting her cause.
