First. some of the northern states were also slave states. Second, much of the slave trade and slave ships were operated by Northerners. Finally, the north purchased tobacco and cotton that were produced by slave labor.
A slave would have to pick an average of 200lbs of cotton each day. A bole of cotton is 40 grams or .08lbs, so on average they would pick 2500 boles of cotton. I'm not a historian so this many vary because of different circumstances. This is just an average number.
The invention of Eli Whitney's modern cotton engine. Before his cotton gin, cotton was much more slowly produced because it was separated by hand. His cotton gin made production much faster. Cotton growing became so profitable for the planters that it greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor.
Slaves were used for many different things such as, picking cotton, dishes, crops, cleaning, or sex, there were many different uses. Pretty much they would do whatever you made them do if you were the slave owner.
cotton bail:$300.00 large farm:$600,000.00 black male slave:$50.00 black women slave:priceless haha im sorry i had to im not racist but that was funny:)
5,000. they were hard workers
before the cotton gin, peices of plant in the cotton were picked out by slaves, which of course was much slower. The cotton gin made the process of making cotton plants into usuable fabric was made much much easier. So people began growing more and more cotton.
not much. but after Eli Whitney made the cotton gin, slavery wanted to be expanded, pretty much causing the civil war
It created more slavery due to faster production of cotton which then led to more demand then adding to expansion of land
The cotton gin eliminated the need for mass labor because it picked and cleaned cotton much faster than human hands could do the job.
The cotton gin allowed cotton to be sold for less and greatly increased the demand for it. This in turn, increased cotton production , particularly in the South. Since cotton requires considerable labor to plant, cultivate and harvest, more slave labor was demanded. Before long, cotton grown by slave labor was the economic base of much of the South.
Cotton slaves picked around 150-200 pounds of cotton a day per person.

...70% of what the average male slave cost.
Working by hand, one slave could clean up to 50lbs. of cotton per day. When cotton gins were run by water power or steam, one slave could clean over 1,000lbs. of cotton per day. With the cotton gin, cotton cleaning became much easier and much faster.Please like The Reynolds Advertisement Team on facebook...and/or visit pameladiscount.com and tell your friends.
