Step-by-step explanation:
Cotton gin, machine for cleaning cotton of its seeds, invented in the United States by Eli Whitney in 1793. While it was true that the cotton gin reduced the labor of removing seeds, it did not reduce the need for enslaved labor to grow and pick the cotton. In fact, the opposite occurred. Cotton growing became so profitable for enslavers that it greatly increased their demand for both land and enslaved labor.
