The Southern plantation owners benefited from the cotton gin the most. It used to be a full day's work for a slave to pick one pound of lint from three pounds of cotton, but thanks to the cotton gin, the process sped up considerably. In fact, you could even say that the cotton gin gave people one more reason to support slavery, since the invention made slavery so much more financially beneficial.The cotton gin was important to so many groups because cotton itself was important to so many groups: The South exported cotton to the North and to foreign nations, and the Northerners used it in their textile factories. The surplus of cotton helped spark the industrial revolution.
Cotton influenced the development of slavery in the South before and during the civil war by creating a larger and larger need for manual labor in the south that the residents could not fill to make a profit on cotton. Back then cotton was "King" in the south and there was high demand from other European nations for it. The obvious answer for this problem was to find more men willing, or forced to, do manual labor. So, instead of taking in 11 million illegal immegrants like we do they used slavery to fuel there cotton buissness. By:Genious

The cotton gin was supposed to help abolish slavery because it takes less people when you have machines. However, with the ability to "shuck" cotton more quickly came the desire for more land for cotton. Unfortunately, slave labor was still needed to pick the cotton, which was now far more abundant, and so there was a sharp increase in slavery following the cotton gin.
