Answer 1

1.While it was true that the cotton gin reduced the labor of removing seeds, it did not reduce the need for slaves to grow and pick the cotton. In fact, the opposite occurred. Cotton growing became so profitable for the planters that it greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor.

2. The need for slaves greatly increased and the number of slave states shot up. Plantations grew, and work became strenuous.

3.The North and England could produce goods more cheaply

4.The three groups that made up the white Southern Society where the Planters, Yeomen, and the Poor white Southerners.

5.Although their lives were circumscribed by numerous discriminatory laws even in the colonial period, freed African Americans, especially in the North, were active participants in American society. Black men enlisted as soldiers and fought in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Some owned land, homes, businesses, and paid taxes.
