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 invention of the cotton gin in 1793 significantly impacted the cotton industry in the southern United States, including Florida. By greatly increasing the efficiency of cotton processing, it made cotton farming more profitable, which contributed to the expansion of agriculture in the region. This economic boom facilitated the growth of plantations and increased the demand for labor, leading to the expansion of slavery in Florida. Overall, Whitney's invention played a crucial role in shaping Florida's agricultural economy during that period.
In the Southern States, slaves did almost all of the work. The Southern states relied heavily on cotton and they had slaves do the work. Slaves would pick cotton which isn't very pleasant, and before the Cotton Gin, slaves had to seperate the cotton fibers from their seeds.
the Southern planters thought that slavery shouldn't be ended for they needed the slaves for their crops
I think that the car would be the most best invention!

i think it was slaves (yeah it was slaves)
Because farmers needed slaves to pick cotton, Dumb a$$, did you mean Framers?
Made it easier to harvest cotton by separating the seeds I think, which was done by hand by the slaves and it increased production and lessened the need for slaves.
The Cotton Gin... It was intended to help the South produce cotton, it really helped the spread of slavery. :(
the slaves had to work in the cotton fields
Owners started to buy more slaves and even more cotton was picked. I think it was because a guy invented the cotton picker the think that takes out seeds. does this satisfy u
1. Because they couldn't outscource the jobs to China. 2. Slaves were free labor as opposed to cheap labor. 3. The Government didn't care how slaves were treated.
Europe needed cotton .
no, the cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney in 1793. if I'm wrong, blame the article i read I think no inventions were made in 1790
