Why was Cotton imortant to U.S. history?
"King Cotton" was one of the major crops of the South before the Civil War. It was not only vital for the southern economy, but also the Northern and English industrialist. Antebellum South provided 50% of the worlds supply of cotton. In order to make a profit off this crop, huge tracts of land (newly acquired from Western territory) and many laborers (slaves) were required. This caused the slave economy in the South to become necessary as well as accepted. Once the cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney, cotton became even more of a profitable crop to grow and the dwindling slave economy was revived. After the Civil War, cotton was no longer a profitable crop, and ceased to be widely grown.
