The cotton gin
The cotton gin was a significant factor in the rise of slavery. Owners needed more slaves to keep up with the production of cotton.
Whitney's cotton gin created an easy way to pick the seed from the cotton. Once this was possible cotton became a cash crop and it was necessary to be picked far more to keep up with the ability to de-seed it. This in turn led to the need of more people (slaves) to pick the cotton.
As the cotton gin was created, more southern plantation owners saw that cotton could be produced more efficiently. This made a rise in slavery because, more slaves equals a larger work force which can plant and grow cotton faster.
Growing cotton became more profitable, and slaves were needed to grow the cotton. Apex ;)
The cotton gin led to a rise in slavery by allowing the cotton plantation to be more productive. What is a "democratic gin"?
