Best Answer

In the US in the antebellum days cotton plantations were 50% of all US exports. That was in 1860. For generations, the huge cotton plantations were worked by teams of slaves. Eventually the morality of slavery became an intellectual and political topic.In economics as well. With that said, the cotton industry was dependent on slave labor and thus connected.
