King Cotton
In 1793, A man named Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin. It is the first in many inventions to decrease the demand for labor. The invention of the cotton gin made the cotton-cleaning process more efficient and quicker,thus the need arose for a larger work force (drastic rise in the number of enslaved people in the South);southern plantations became major producers of cotton that was shipped to northern textile mills.
Effect of the Cotton Gin
Positive- It made the job of processing the cotton easier and more efficient. It directly led to the growth of southern plantations
Negative- It led to the spread of slavery due to both the increase in plantations but also because the textile mills in the North needed more cotton which caused plantation owners to need more slaves.
