The plantation economy expanded rapidly between 1820 and 1850 primarily due to the increasing demand for cotton, driven by the Industrial Revolution and the rise of textile manufacturing in the North and Britain. Innovations like the cotton gin made cotton production more efficient, allowing Southern plantations to produce it at a larger scale. Additionally, the expansion of territory through events such as the Louisiana Purchase and the westward movement of settlers facilitated the establishment of new cotton plantations. The reliance on enslaved labor also played a crucial role in sustaining this rapid growth.
