9) The cotton gin removed the seeds out of cotton, which was much faster than doing it by hand.

What impact did the cotton gin and these other inventions have on slavery?

It reduced the labor on slaves by the gin removing the hard to pick seeds for them. Unfortunately this just made the need to grow and pick cotton more because it was faster
