Prior to the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney separating the cotton seeds from the fibers took a great deal of work making cotton not very profitable. Some even believed that slavery would collapse as an effective system simply because of unprofitably. The invention of the cotton gin made it much easier to separate the seeds from the fibers so much more cotton could be produced. this caused slavery to expand rapidly in the American south.
