Cultivation of cotton requires 600-1200 mm (24-48 inches) of rainfall.
The invention of the Cotton Gin, which made large scale growth of cotton possible. Cotton needed farm workers to plant, cultivate and harvest it.

Jute requires a significant amount of rainfall for optimal growth, typically between 1,200 to 2,500 mm (approximately 47 to 98 inches) annually. Consistent moisture is crucial during the growing season, particularly in the early stages of plant development. Ideally, rainfall should be well-distributed throughout the season to ensure healthy growth and high yields.

Cotton is a summer season crop. If planted in winter its growth will be limited by lower temperature and light intensity.
The cotton gin allowed plantation owners to plant more cotton and process cotton faster. This meant that they needed more slave labor and that the slave population grew as a result.
When you plant upland cotton, which is what most of the cotton plantations had, it destroys the topsoil. Tobacco plantations didn't destroy the land. The whole reason that they expanded westward was because they needed more soil to plant cotton on, because the soil they had was ruined.
