How did the cotton gin change the cotton-crean ingl and eacutes process?
A cotton boll is very dense and to do anything with cotton the seeds have to be removed. Slaves would have to hand pick every seed out of the cotton. With the invention of the cotton gin the removal of the seeds was done with brush type teeth that would pull apart the cotton and the seeds fell to the bottom of the box. The seeds are kept for planting cotton again. The invention allowed for more cotton to be grown and the need for slaves grew. By 1860 there were 6 millions slaves in the south.
