How did the cotton gin change Southern life?
The Cotton Gin dramatically changed life in the south, by impacting the lives of every cotton plantation owner, and in turn the whole economy of the south. The Cotton Gin is a machine used to separate cotton seeds from the fibers. This increased production dramatically, and suddenly it became much easier to grow and prepare bales of cotton. The faster production of cotton meant that more cotton could be grown, and in turn cotton became less expensive. More people could afford to switch their clothing from flax to cotton. Before cotton was only for the rich. Unfortunately, there was a downside to the start of the Industrial Revolution. More cotton grown meant that more slaves were needed to grow and harvest the cotton. This made it so that nearly one-third of all southerners were slaves.
