How did Eli Whitney's cotton gin affect the value of slaves?

When the cotton gin was invented, slaves became incredibly valuable. This invention separated seeds from the white cottony fiber of the cotton, eliminating the need of slaves to do it. So the farmers could now grow more cotton, and to do this they needed more slaves. But at this time slave trade was abolished. So slaves became extremely expensive. From $600 to $1,800!So people started to 'breed' slaves, as a result of this.
