Before the cotton gin, there was not much profit to be had out of cotton. There was too much time involved in making it a marketable product. After the gin, cottons potential was realized, the plantations were booming. Even with the gin, the harvesting of cotton was still very labor intensive. Plantation owners brought in slaves to do the harvesting. This dramatically cut the cost of production and increased profit.
in the US, it was slave labor for planting and harvesting, most cotton was then sent to the mills in the north or exported, where a high percentage of the workers were children - orphans or of the very poor.
Slavery in the deep south exploded in size. There was a transition of labor from cleaning cotton to planting and harvesting cotton, because the Cotton Gin cleaned the cotton much faster than manual labor could. Ironicly, the cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney, who was a northerner, in an attempt to end slavery. The opposite happened.
The process begins in the planting and growing of the cotton. Then comes the harvesting and sending off to be processed. Basically, the processing entails cleaning the cotton and washing. Then comes the carding of the cotton until all the fibres are aligned. After which, the cotton is spun into a single thread. Finally, the cotton fibre is woven on looms into a cotton fabric, or wound onto bobbins for use as a sewing thread.
