Cotton was King.
The abolishment of slavery can be described as a major disadvantage to the cotton production in the deep southern part of the United States. The Civil War itself was also a major disadvantage to cotton production because many plantations were burned along with the cotton crop.
That it is part of certification is a reason why testing is done on organic cotton. Organic cotton must be cultivated in fields that are pesticide-free for three years, fertilized chemicals and sewage sludge, and tested by third-party certifiers. The standards relate to on-farm production of raw fiber, not to post-treatment with chlorine bleach, heavy metal-filled dyes, and sizing agents.

The invention of the cotton gin helped the manner by which cotton was made ready for market, however, the cotton plantations were still operated by intensive slave labor. The actual steps of how a cotton plantation were as follows:* Cotton gins could be powered by horses or water. Intensive slave labor was not required in this process;* Slaves prepared for the next cotton crop by first clearing, by hand or clubs, the left over cotton stalks;*Maure was then required for the new crop, this was done by hand and consisted of placing this fertilizer as deep as possible into the furrows of the previous crop;* The seeding for the new crop was done by hand, usually in the Spring;* By late Summer the cotton was harvested by hand, and ginned almost immediately; and* The entire process began again, one cycle after another.Production levels were unsustainable without vast numbers of workers. Paid workers would make the cotton system too expensive, thus slave labor was required.Many in the South had regarded slavery as a necessary evil, however, the economic boom it created made slavery a essential part of the Southern economy.
States in the southern United States that were part of the cotton belt include Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Tennessee. These states have a long history of cotton production due to their favorable climate and soil conditions for growing cotton.
It makes it easier to pull the seeds out of cotton. Before the cotton gin, it took about a day to produce one pound of cotton without the seeds. With the cotton gin, people could produce many pounds of cotton and all they needed to do was pick the cotton and put it in the cotton gin to clean it.
