Answer:

A: Cotton Gin

Step-by-step explanation:

The cotton gin was a revolutionary invention for cotton farmers (and slave owners alike) during the 18th century, because it allowed for increased production of cotton. However, the cotton gin required man power to work properly, that's where the slaves came in.The farmers would buy slaves to grow their cotton and work the cotton gins, this would increase the demand of slaves and thus increase the supply.
