Since this is apex I really think instead of cheating you need to read the article that goes with the question. I will give you a hint, but as a teacher I can not in all good conscience give you the answer. My hint is: seeds

Since this is a statement and not a question I can still provide an answer. The reasons the increase in slaves is the invention of the cotton gin. More cotton was grown and more slaves were needed. By 1860 there were 4 million slaves in the southern states.
