After the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793, life in the Southern United States transformed significantly. The gin streamlined the process of separating cotton fibers from seeds, leading to a dramatic increase in cotton production and making it a lucrative cash crop. This economic boom intensified the reliance on enslaved labor, further entrenching the institution of slavery in the South. Consequently, the social and economic dynamics of the region shifted, contributing to growing tensions between the North and South that would ultimately lead to the Civil War.
