The cotton gin made it profitable to grow short staple cotton across the South. Previously, it had only been profitable to grow long staple cotton on the seal islands.
Cotton is a warm weather plant. It grows in southern states and in central California. I live in central California and today I think we grow more cotton than is grown in the south. We have fields and fields of cotton.
the cotton gin was able to process A LOT more cotton, thus more slaves were needed to grow more cotton.
During the Civil War the value of cotton grew because of the term Cotton Diplomacy. Basically the South threatened to not ship cotton to Great Britain and France if they did not help the South win the war. This failed horribly because the South was not the main shippers of cotton for Great Britain or France and both countries had eliminated slavery already so it was against their laws to help the south.
it came from when the cotton jin was invented which made collecting the seeds easier so they would grow alot more
Yes, cotton grows in the US. remember when people had slaves, they grew cotton in the south. we can probably still grow cotton, but slaves don't grow it anymore, farmers do.
Yeah cotton farms in the south.

Farmers in the South do not specialize in cotton alone. They may also grow sugar cane, fruit in orchards and raise livestock.
