The cotton gin did not fail. It worked too well.

This brilliant invention by a young student on his first visit to the South turned cotton into America's biggest export, earned huge wealth for the planters and caused the arrogant attitudes that led to the breakaway Confederacy and the Civil War.

It also created a need for more and better textile machinery to make cotton cloth, sparking inventions in many countries and advancing the Industrial Revolution.

The cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney and made cotton a much more profitable crop. Ten times the amount of cotton could be picked. Because of how profitable the cotton gin made cotton as a cash crop the demand for slaves continued. Eli Whitney said himself that he regretted the invention because of the increased demand for slave labor. The invention of the cotton gin was a major setback for the abolitionist movement. If this had not been invented slavery would have most likely been ended fifty years earlier.

The cotton gin made cotton production more profitable, as long as the slave labor remained. More planters pursued larger profits under the plantation system.

It made the cotton trade so profitable that Southern leaders were strongly motivated to preserve slavery and extend it, if possible.

Growing cotton became more profitable, growers expanded crop acreage, and more slaves were needed to grow the cotton.

The Cotton Gin dramatically changed life in the south, by impacting the lives of every cotton plantation owner, and in turn the whole economy of the south. The Cotton Gin is a machine used to separate cotton seeds from the fibers. This increased production dramatically, and suddenly it became much easier to grow and prepare bales of cotton. The faster production of cotton meant that more cotton could be grown, and in turn cotton became less expensive. More people could afford to switch their clothing from flax to cotton. Before cotton was only for the rich. Unfortunately, there was a downside to the start of the Industrial Revolution. More cotton grown meant that more slaves were needed to grow and harvest the cotton. This made it so that nearly one-third of all southerners were slaves.
