What caused the growth of slavery in the south?
The cotton gin was one of the primary factors that resulted in the southern growth of slavery. The cotton gin processed cotton faster by removing the seeds with a brush rather than a slave removing them by hand, so more cotton could be grown. That meant that more people were needed to pick and process the greater amounts of cotton. The growing of more cotton also meant that the planters got more wealthy which resulted in larger houses and the need for more household slaves. As the plantations grew more land was used for more crops and more workers were needed. Again, more slaves were needed.

What were the main cash crops in the south during reconstruction?
During Reconstruction, a new system of farming was developed. The neo-peonage method of using tenant farmers on farms came to be known as sharecropping.

Cash crops were the traditional antebellum ones like tobacco, cotton, sugar and rice.

Why was it hard to pick cotton?
Cotton is grown in areas that have hot weather and a cotton field has no shade. To be able to pick the cotton from the plant the plant is killed first. The plant is a low growing shrub like plant and when dead the cotton bolls open. Until cotton picking machines were invented people would hand pick the cotton off the plant. It doesn't come off easy and raw cotton is itchy and rather prickly, and it takes some effort to get it off. There are several bolls per plant. The picked cotton was put in bags that the person wore so as they moved through the field the bag would get heavier and drag. The base of the plant may also hide snakes and other living things.
