The Cotton Gin created by Eli Whitney caused the spread of slavery.
King Cotton was a phrase used by the South that meant the cotton industry would make the Confederacy a wealthy power and was so essential to Europe it would cause Great Britain and France to support the Confederacy against the US North. Slavery had spread widely in the South before the coining of the term King Cotton. It spread because the economy of the South was based on growing cotton for the world and growing cotton is labor intensive (requires many workers). Thus slaves were required to support the crops.

The availability of fertile land for agriculture in the western territories and the demand for labor to work crops like cotton were key geographical factors that fueled the spread of slavery westward in the United States. The invention of the cotton gin also increased the demand for enslaved labor in the South, driving the expansion of slavery into the western territories.
Cotton Gin (your welcome study island cheaters)
It enomously speeded-up the process of separating the seeds from the lint in short-staple cotton. This made cotton a far more profitable crop, and the wealthy farmers were able to extend their plantations.
The Cotton Gin... It was intended to help the South produce cotton, it really helped the spread of slavery. :(
The issue of slavery split the party. "Conscience Whigs" in the North favored the abolition of slavery and halting the institution's spread into new territories. The "Cotton Whigs" in the South took the opposite viewpoints

The spread of slavery in the South was driven by economic factors, as slavery was deeply ingrained in the plantation-based agricultural economy. The demand for labor in industries like cotton production led to the expansion of slavery. Additionally, social and cultural beliefs that supported slavery as a way of life also played a role in its spread.
