By 1890, the biggest crop produced in the Southeast was cotton, which dominated the agricultural economy of the region. The invention of the cotton gin and the expansion of plantation agriculture had solidified cotton's status as the primary cash crop. This reliance on cotton not only shaped the economy but also had significant social and political implications, particularly in relation to the institution of slavery.
