Slaves would pick the cotton from plants that contained sharp thorns, which would be a very time-consuming process. Many slaves would be injured this way because of the thorns. The cotton gin would produce more than 50 pounds of cotton per day, picking much more than a slave could. Cotton fabric became cheaper at the time due to the mass production of the product in many plantations. There was much competition in the cotton trade. In the early 19th century, farmers in the Southern states were utilizing most of their land to grow cotton. Cotton was demanded by textile mills, which eventually lead to plantations needing more slaves for labor. Plantations that grew cotton became successful in states like Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. The slave population in the south grew from 700,000 to more than 3 million slaves in 1850. With the invention of the cotton gin, came more demand in…
The concern to grow cotton expanded to other cash crops and cattle and hogs which meant to the demand on large number of cheap labors, as what it called as slaves (485). Meanwhile, the northern grew up its economic was more into industry. One of the industry was a textile industry which processes the raw cotton into the finished goods.

The large amounts of money to be made in cotton had important effects on the South. By the 1830s, cotton was the major cash crop in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, and Texas. By the 1850s, cotton was king in the South. The southern cotton crops were important to the entire nation. This was only possible through slave labor. The textile industry in the New England states developed rapidly because the South could supply it with more cotton. Railroads carried cotton bales to northern mills. By 1860, the South produced almost 4 million bales every year. Cotton became one of the main exports of the United States, especially to Great Britain. Great Britain needed American cotton for its own textile industry. So ships carried American cotton across the Atlantic Ocean. Southerners…

Slavery, colonial domination, militarized trade, and land expropriations provided the fertile soil from which a new kind capitalism would sprout. Cotton manufacturing on a small scale was astonishingly profitable in 1780s and 1790s. As demand for raw cotton rose, so too did prices. In 1781, prices for cotton in Britain were two and three higher than they had a decade earlier. The emerging cotton complex centered in Europe was also unique because it did not draw on the production of nearby peasants for its raw materials. Most of the cotton grown for manufacturing purposes around the world was produced by small farmers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America and consumed locally in 1791.High profits from production in turn made manufacturing an ever more attractive field for further…

After years of growing tobacco, the slave masters decided to make slaves grow and pick cotton. Slaves they were very popular in the South unlike the North, and every day they were forced to plant food, feed their owners, taking them places, and doing whatever they said.
