What development led to a sharp rise in the slave population in the US?

The development of the Cotton Gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793(although the patent was not approved until 1807) led to the biggest rise in slave population in the US. It made the process of cleaning the seeds out of cotton much easier and cheaper than by hand. Seems like a good idea, right? Well if you can clean and produce more cotton, you'll eventually want more raw cotton to produce. This unfortunately meant buying more slaves. As you get more and more profit from all this free labor, you can buy more slaves. Eventually you will have an empire base on slaves. Everyone in the South figured this out pretty quickly, and the purchase of slaves skyrocketed. That is why the slave population got so big. I hoped this helped. :)

The settling of the southern colonies in America increased the demand for labor in industries such as agriculture, which led to an increase in the transatlantic slave trade to meet this demand. Slaves were brought from Africa to work on plantations and farms in the southern colonies, leading to the growth of the slave trade in the region.
