Georgia was controlled by rich planters who owned vast plantations. When the cotton gin was invented it gave a means for more cotton to be grown and as more cotton was produced the need for more slaves was also needed to pick, process, and do the plantations work. Atlanta became one of the largest cities in the south and was the center of social activities in Georgia.
