In the 1800s, the forced migration of enslaved people in the Southern United States was primarily driven by the expansion of cotton plantations, particularly after the invention of the cotton gin. This demand for labor led to the internal slave trade, where enslaved individuals were forcibly relocated from the Upper South to the Deep South to work in cotton production. Additionally, the domestic slave trade was characterized by the brutal separation of families, as enslaved people were sold and transported across state lines, often enduring harsh conditions during their journeys. This migration was a key component of the broader system of slavery that fueled the Southern economy.
