Cotton contains small seeds, which need to be removed before the cotton can be woven into textiles. American cotton contains more seeds than cotton grown in other regions. Eli Whitney created the cotton gin to help remove the seeds from the cotton efficiently, allowing it to be cultivated faster and at a higher volume. The higher production and better quality allowed Southern plantation owners to grow their agricultural output. In addition, the cotton gin allowed for fewer slaves to be used to remove the seeds from the cotton. Slaves could then be used in other areas on the plantations.
