The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, revolutionized the cotton industry by significantly speeding up the process of separating cotton fibers from seeds. This efficiency led to increased cotton production, which in turn fueled the growth of the textile industry and boosted the economy, particularly in the Southern United States. However, it also intensified the reliance on slave labor, as plantation owners expanded their operations to meet rising demand. Overall, the cotton gin transformed agricultural practices and social dynamics, shaping economic and cultural landscapes in the 19th century.
