How did the cotton gin change the cotton-crean ingl and eacutes process?

A cotton boll is very dense and to do anything with cotton the seeds have to be removed. Slaves would have to hand pick every seed out of the cotton. With the invention of the cotton gin the removal of the seeds was done with brush type teeth that would pull apart the cotton and the seeds fell to the bottom of the box. The seeds are kept for planting cotton again. The invention allowed for more cotton to be grown and the need for slaves grew. By 1860 there were 6 millions slaves in the south.


How was cotton gathered on slave plantations?

At the beginning of the 19th century, cotton plantations dominated the agriculture of the Deep South. The invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney fostered a more efficient way to harvest cotton. The invention removed seeds from the cotton plants which previously was done inefficiently by hand by slaves on the cotton plantations. The seeding of the cotton was still done by hand, however. The cotton gin would help gather the cotton plants' seeds. The cotton was planted in deep seeding patches anywhere from three to six feet apart. Cotton seeds were planted in April and were ready for harvest as soon as June.
