When Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, slavery in the United States was in a large decline, do to the inherent unprofitable nature of the cotton/plantation/slave economy in the southern states. By creating a highly efficient way to process cotton, eli whitney propagated and enhanced a system which otherwise would have ceased.
