The cotton gin itself was not inherently dangerous; it was a mechanical device designed to separate cotton fibers from seeds, significantly increasing efficiency in cotton production. However, its introduction had dangerous social implications, as it contributed to the expansion of slavery in the American South by making cotton cultivation more profitable. This led to harsher conditions for enslaved people and intensified the economic and moral conflicts surrounding slavery in the United States.
