How did the cotton gin change Southern life?
The Cotton Gin dramatically changed life in the south, by impacting the lives of every cotton plantation owner, and in turn the whole economy of the south. The Cotton Gin is a machine used to separate cotton seeds from the fibers. This increased production dramatically, and suddenly it became much easier to grow and prepare bales of cotton. The faster production of cotton meant that more cotton could be grown, and in turn cotton became less expensive. More people could afford to switch their clothing from flax to cotton. Before cotton was only for the rich. Unfortunately, there was a downside to the start of the Industrial Revolution. More cotton grown meant that more slaves were needed to grow and harvest the cotton. This made it so that nearly one-third of all southerners were slaves.

What raw materials is cotton made from?
Cotton is a plant. The seeds of the plant are contained in a roundish pod called a boll, and surrounded by a fibrous material. When immature, the bolls are green, and the fibrous material is wet. As the bolls mature, they turn black/brown, the fibrous material swells, and the bolls split open, after which the fibrous material dries. This is raw cotton. The raw cotton is removed from the bolls, and the seeds are separated by machinery in a cotton gin. The fiber is then compacted into rectangular bales, generally weighing around 500 lbs, wrapped in burlap and banded with metal straps. The bales are then shipped to be processed into cloth and other articles. The seeds can be processed into cotton seed oil, and the bolls are often used as compost or mulch.
