Well, what basically happened was even though he invented the cotton gin*, the part that wasn't taken care of was harvesting the cotton in the first place. After this invention, people saw this as a great opportunity to make money, so everybody started buying land. HOWEVER, they needed lots of people to harvest the cotton in all that land, so they bought slaves. Summing it up, they could get the small pieces out of the cotton, but they needed people to go get the cotton for them, so they bought slaves. *The cotton gin was an invention that took the smaller and unnecessary pieces, like seeds, out of the cotton. Before the cotton gin, it had taken a lot of work to do that.
