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.

The cotton gin made slavery more profitable. The cotton gin made the process of separating the seeds from cotton fifty times faster.
You would think that since there aren't as many hands needed to separate cotton, there would be a decrease in slavery. However, plantation owners only grew more cotton which needed more slaves to pick, then needed even more slaves to operate the cotton gin. In fact, after the invention of the cotton gin, slavery soon quadrupled.
Eli Whitney's first attempt at the cotton gin occurred in 1793. He developed the device while working in Georgia, aiming to reduce the labor needed to separate cotton fibers from seeds. This invention significantly increased cotton production efficiency and had a profound impact on the agricultural economy of the South. Whitney patented the cotton gin in 1794.

because it was one of the first cotton gins ever made. It's not much now, but back then it was a lot of money- like a thousand $ for us!!
