They used machines that could remove the seeds form the cotton so it would go more fast than by doing it by hand. Whitneys invention of the cotton gin made cotton so profitable that southern farmers abanonded other crops in favor of growing cotton. The native american removal opened up more land. Cotton doesnt cost as mch as normal food would. Southerns also sold tons of cotton to the growing textile industry in the northern united states. This increased trade led to the growth of major port cities in the south. People sold there cotton to merchants and then they would then ship the by land to port, but that was difficult because there were few major road projects at the time and were limited to the southeast. As early as 1840 the United states was producing more than half of the cotton growth in the entire world. The economic boom attracted new settlers, build up wealth among wealthy white southerners and firmly put in place the institution of slavery in the south.
