How did the introduction of the cotton gin affect enslaved workers on Southern plantations? O Enslaved workers had less work to
do. O Planters gave enslaved workers better nxorking conditions. O Enslaved workers were able to purchase insurance. O Planters demanded enslaved laborers work faster.
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.
