slaves were used on plantations to grow and pick the cotton
Because cotton was one of the main crops grown in the south, so a lot of the slaves worked on cotton plantations.
Cotton, tobacco and coffee.
At the beginning of the 19th century, cotton plantations dominated the agriculture of the Deep South. The invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney fostered a more efficient way to harvest cotton. The invention removed seeds from the cotton plants which previously was done inefficiently by hand by slaves on the cotton plantations. The seeding of the cotton was still done by hand, however. The cotton gin would help gather the cotton plants' seeds. The cotton was planted in deep seeding patches anywhere from three to six feet apart. Cotton seeds were planted in April and were ready for harvest as soon as June.

When you plant upland cotton, which is what most of the cotton plantations had, it destroys the topsoil. Tobacco plantations didn't destroy the land. The whole reason that they expanded westward was because they needed more soil to plant cotton on, because the soil they had was ruined.
