The rise of cotton production can mean two things when it comes to slavery: the slaves are being forced to work harder to produce more cotton or more slaves are being bought and put to work to increase cotton production.

It will increase the economy, the more cotton produced the more money, the more slaves the faster the job gets done, this will also increase the amount of slaves in the south.
