Answer:

  • It increased the demand for slave labor to grow cotton.

Step-by-step explanation:

One incidental aftereffect of the cotton gin's prosperity, in any case, was that it fortified slavery in the South. In spite of the fact that the cotton gin made cotton preparing less work concentrated, it helped grower procure more noteworthy benefits, provoking them to develop bigger yields, which thus required more individuals. Since servitude was the least expensive type of work, cotton farmers acquired more slaves.
