Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin in 1793 significantly boosted cotton production in the South, making it a highly profitable crop. This increased demand for cotton led to the expansion of plantations and, consequently, a greater reliance on enslaved labor, as more workers were needed to cultivate and harvest the cotton. As a result, Whitney's invention inadvertently contributed to the entrenchment and expansion of slavery in America, intensifying the economic and social divides between the North and South.

Eli Whitney contributed to the spread of slavery through his invention of the cotton gin in 1793. This machine significantly increased the efficiency of cotton processing, making cotton production highly profitable and leading to a surge in demand for slave labor on plantations in the Southern United States. As cotton became a dominant cash crop, the reliance on enslaved labor expanded, entrenching and perpetuating the institution of slavery in the region. Thus, Whitney's innovation inadvertently fueled the expansion of slavery in America.
