The cotton gin
To make the removal of seeds from cotton easier.
You would think that since there aren't as many hands needed to separate cotton, there would be a decrease in slavery. However, plantation owners only grew more cotton which needed more slaves to pick, then needed even more slaves to operate the cotton gin. In fact, after the invention of the cotton gin, slavery soon quadrupled.
Eli Whitney's first attempt at the cotton gin occurred in 1793. He developed the device while working in Georgia, aiming to reduce the labor needed to separate cotton fibers from seeds. This invention significantly increased cotton production efficiency and had a profound impact on the agricultural economy of the South. Whitney patented the cotton gin in 1794.
He influenced the growth of slaves in the south because it caused people to see cotton as a very profitable crop and people bought land which in term increased slavery due to the owner needing to harvest this great thing called cotton.
