How was the cotton gin new back then?
The cotton gin was invented in 1793 by Eli Whitney and it resulted in the explosion of slavery and more cotton production. Because it could remove seeds from the fibers the southern planters were able to grow more cotton and produce more bales. Slavery grew and slaves became more valuable as a result. By 1835 over a million bales of cotton was baled each year by the southern states and sent to England for the textile mills. At the start of the civil war the southern planters thought the English would come to their aid because they needed the cotton, but the English warehouses were full and they didn't need them.
What did the cotton gin replace?
The cotton gin essentially replaced the handpicking and cleaning of cotton. Before the invention of the gin, the U.S. employed slaves to handpick cotton. Currently, only third world countries still use slaves to handpick cotton.
What effect did Eli Whitney's invention in 1793 have on the south?

What does gin mean like in cotton gin?
There is no definitive answer in the research. However, it might be that the word gin in the name is a reference to the word Djin, a genie from the Arab world. It is known that the Victorian era used such words in their advertising, so it is a possibility that the word was a working name for the seed extractor. Being American and having a propensity for shortening names and words, the original Djin probably became gin over the time of the development of the cotton gin.

Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin late in the 18th century. It greatly reduced the manpower required to harvest the cotton plant.
The first cotton gin was invented in India during the 5th century, there is proof of this in the Ajanta caves.
There is controversy over who invented the key element of the cotton gin, the wire hooks. Katherine Greene supporters cite the claim of a friend of a friend of the plantation foreman. While Whitney supporters, like myself, cite a letter to the editor of Southern Agriculturist magazine, whose author heard from shadowy sources that Whitney had asked Greene for a pin to experiment with at the start of his efforts. There is also the claim that Eli Whitney got the idea from some African slaves working on the plantation, and he just mechanized it. Nevertheless, Eli Whitney patented the cotton gin in 1714, and is given the credit of inventing the cotton gin.
Also, green cotton was the only cotton that could survive in most of the south, and cotton gins are not used to hold the cotton, they only separate the seed from the cotton fibers. There was also another cotton gin in between Eli Whitney's and the single-roller cotton gin in China and India. It was called the double-roller cotton gin, invented during the medieval period.
Ultimately, what is historically verifiable is that Whitney received the patent for the version of the cotton gin which revolutionized cotton production. As to who came up with which idea, and when, it's been the subject of any number of very sketchily supported claims for generations.
