Answer:

The answer is all of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cotton gin took the seeds out of cotton, so they needed more slaves to work the machines, with more slaves they produced more cotton, they then sold the cotton to the world, making more money, making cotton the foundation (money wise) of the south.
