What role did the cotton gin play in the growth and expansion of slavery?

Answer 1

since the plantation owner's found out that cotton could be cleaned easily, quickly and cheaply they bought more slaves so that more cotton could be planted and cleaned. Most plantation owners became richer than they already were

Answer 2

Before, cotton was cleaned and prepared by the slaves. However with the invention to the cotton gin, that was able to be done much faster than before. Therefore more slaves were needed to pick the cotton. As the production of cotton increased, so did the amount of slaves, because they needed to pick the cotton so that the machine could prepare it. (I tried to make it as easy to understand as possible. Hope I helped! Good Luck!)

Answer 3

So More Cotton Could Be Put Through The Cotton Gin.

Lazy White People.

Answer 4

because cotton products could be made faster so the cotton market grew increasing the need for cotton farmers and slaves
