Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin in 1793 significantly impacted Florida's agricultural economy by increasing the efficiency of cotton processing. This innovation made cotton production more profitable and encouraged the expansion of cotton farming in the region. As a result, it contributed to the growth of Florida's economy and its integration into the broader cotton market in the South. However, it also had social implications, as it reinforced the reliance on enslaved labor for cotton cultivation.
