What explains the birth of slavery in the South?

There had been slavery in both North and South. In the North, it died out because it did not suit the factory system. In the South, it would have died out too, but the sudden growth of the cotton trade (following the invention of the cotton-gin) gave the planters a big incentive to import and breed more slaves to work the plantations.


Why did the invention of the cotton gin lead to more animosity between the north and south?

Because it enabled the huge growth of the cotton industry, whereby the South became a great cotton empire, able to compete economically with the North, but dependent on slavery.
