In 1860, the major product produced in the southern United States was cotton. The region's economy heavily relied on cotton cultivation, which was facilitated by slave labor and the invention of the cotton gin. This crop was a key driver of the Southern economy and played a significant role in the antebellum period, making the South a leading supplier of cotton to both domestic and international markets.
