Cotton production could not have been done profitably without slavery.
The Cotton Gin created by Eli Whitney caused the spread of slavery.
The cotton industry depended totally on slave-labour, and as cotton became more and more profitable, Southern leaders fought hard to hold back the tide of Abolitionism, promoting slavery as a beneficial system, and eventually putting pressure on church ministers to preach that it was a God-given arrangement of master and man.
after the cotton gin was invented there was no need for slavery because they machine did all of the work -----Holy crap dude your dumb. (After the cotton gin was invented, slavery increased because there was a bigger demand for cotton.) Stop answering questions you don't know the answer to.
