Question

List two effects of the invention of the cotton gin.

Answer 1

1). It decreases the labour of separating the seeds from cotton
2). Even though there was less labour of separating the seeds, there was more demand for land and slave labour since cotton became most profitable in a lot of businesses

Answer 2

It reduced the labor of the removal of seed from cotton, but it also, increased the demand for land and slave labor. The cotton gin was a good thing because removing seeds from cotton used to take hours of hard work and lobor just to get one pound of cotton, but with the cotton gin, the time it took to make large amounts of cotton took much less time. I hope this helped!
