How did the invention of the cotton gin ultimately affect the navtive Americans?

Answer 1

The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 significantly increased the efficiency of cotton production, leading to a booming cotton industry in the Southern United States. This demand for cotton cultivated a reliance on slave labor, which in turn intensified the displacement of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands as settlers expanded westward to cultivate cotton. Consequently, the expansion of cotton plantations contributed to the loss of Native American territories and further marginalization of their communities. The economic benefits derived from the cotton gin thus had dire consequences for Native American populations.
