After the American Revolution, the North became more industrialized and the need for slaves was minimal. The practice remained in the South, but the number of slaves in the US declined continuously.

The increase in manufacturing in the Northern part of the US brought on a decline for the need of slaves. Slavery in the South was also on the decline. This was due to the amount of labor required to plant and more importantly harvest cotton plants. The industrial revolutionary invention of the cotton gin greatly reduced the manpower required to harvest cotton. As world demand for cotton increased world wide, Southern plantation cotton production was able to increase to meet that demand. Textile mills in the Northern US factories and mills abroad, such as in England sought cotton. The invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney doomed the decline of slavery in the South. The slave population of the US by 1860 was about four million.
