What was the relationship between cotton production and slavery?

Cotton production and slavery were deeply intertwined in the United States, particularly in the South, during the 19th century. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 significantly boosted cotton yields, leading to an increased demand for labor to cultivate and harvest the crop. As a result, plantation owners relied heavily on enslaved African Americans, who were forced to work under brutal conditions, to maximize their profits. This reliance on slave labor not only fueled the cotton economy but also entrenched the institution of slavery in American society.

When the cotton gin was invented in allowed for an easier way to remove seeds from cotton. More cotton was produced and sold worldwide as its demand seemed never to cease. With that said, cotton became a boom crop because of the demand of it in textile mills in the US and in Europe.
