The south approved slavery because slaves were useful to them on their cotton farms. However, after the invention of cotton gin many saw that they didn’t need to slaves to work for them on the cotton fields anymore as it was easier to own a machine which would do the work instead. They saw the slaves as pointless and impractical after the invention.
Most states require the following:
- Age (usually 18)
- Citizenship (U.S.)
- Residency (proof that you live in the town)
- Registration (many states now have same-day registration)
Some states
- No felony record
