Cotton requires a longer growing season and hotter weather than is present in the North - it doesn't do well if the temperature drops below 60 °F (~15 °C) and thrives in temperatures around 90 °F (~32 °C). Cotton simply will not thrive in the the colder temperatures present most of the year in the North. It also requires a fairly long growing season - again, a problem in the North. Most cotton growing regions fit the description of hot and fairly long growing season - Southeastern US, Egypt, India, etc.
