What impact did the cotton gin have upon the South?
The cotton gin had an enormous effect on the cotton industry. It made cotton a more viable cash crop, making it "King" in the south. Thanks to the new invention, cotton was so profitable that much of the economic production of the South became dependent upon it. That meant that they were also dependent upon the institution of slavery. Plantation owners needed slaves to pick the cotton from their enormous fields, so they needed to protect the institution of slavery to preserve their economic system. Thus, they became increasingly hostile to Northern attempts to regulate slavery. This reliance on cotton production also had some other effects on the South. It depleted nutrients from the soil, making large sections of the South less fertile over time. It also kept the South more agricultural than the North which was beginning to industrialize in the early 19th century. This would make a difference during the Civil War.

The reliance on cotton production and slavery in the South led to economic prosperity due to the profitability of cotton, but it also entrenched the region's dependence on slave labor. Socially, it created a hierarchical society based on race and entrenched racial inequalities. Morally, it led to widespread acceptance of the dehumanization of enslaved individuals and perpetuated the idea of white supremacy.
