Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The American Civil War did not result in reduced cotton exports from India. Instead, on the contrary, the outbreak of the American Civil War came out as beneficial to India. With the outbreak of the Civil War, cotton supplies from the United States of America were reduced significantly, resulting in a shift of focus. The British now turned their focus to India. With the American Civil War, the exports of raw cotton from India increased phenomenally, and so did the prices of cotton from India. Therefore, the American Civil War affected the cotton exports of America in a negative sense and proved to be a great opportunity for boosting the cotton exports of India.
