The first slave arrived in the colonies in 1609 and it was a progression towards slavery as the need for workers rose and indentured servants didn't work. The invention of the cotton gin added to the plantation owners need for more slaves. The number of cotton bales related directly to the population of slaves. By 1861 there were 4 million slaves in the southern states.
