Slavery expanded in the early 19th century primarily due to the rise of cotton as a dominant cash crop in the Southern United States, driven by the invention of the cotton gin, which made processing cotton more efficient. This created a high demand for labor, leading to an increase in the importation and breeding of enslaved people. Additionally, the westward expansion of the United States opened new territories for agriculture, further entrenching the institution of slavery in the economy and society of the South. Political, social, and economic factors, including the protection of slavery by laws and cultural attitudes, also contributed to its expansion during this period.
