How did the invention of the cotton gin affect the economy of the South?

Lol This Dose Sound Like Homework

It increased the growth of slavery because now they were able to process more cotton, which lead to an increase in the amount of cotton farms, which lead to an increased need for slaves.

The Invention Of Cotton Gin

My social studies class just answered this question...the cotton gin affected the south by meeting the demands for cotton from the north. Slaves had to double their work to produce more cotton but over all the south was making more money because they made more cotton. Good Luck =]

It made production of cotton products more efficient and faster. That means that the owner of the plantation became drastically wealthier faster than the old way. It was invented to take the seeds out of the cotton and just leave the cotton instead of having to pick out the seeds one by one.

It took away jobs from a lot of people because the people did the sorting and de-seeding and the picking before the cotton gin came to be.

is that quick enough??

They used cotten to trade for other things they needed that only the north had.

Back then they had money, but mostly traded for the things they needed.

So the cotton gin made it quicker and faster to make that possible.

If made the production of cotton fabric much cheaper, making the raising of cotton more profitable.

it helped pick the seeds out of the cotton making it easier to harvest and therfore the owners of the farms needed more slaves to pick the cotton because they were planting more

called the "cotton boom"

More efficient, less expensive, more production.

Do you know who invented the cotton gin?

E.W.

it sped up the process of picking cotton so the more made the more money the owners have wich means more slave its like a cycle
