Working by hand, one slave could clean up to 50lbs. of cotton per day. When cotton gins were run by water power or steam, one slave could clean over 1,000lbs. of cotton per day. With the cotton gin, cotton cleaning became much easier and much faster.

In fact, after the invention of the cotton gin, slavery soon quadrupled.
