The correct answer is B) Daily rates of production rose from 1 pound of cotton per slave to as much as 50 pounds per slave.

The statement that is the BEST description of the immediate effect of the cotton gin on cotton production in the American south in the early-1800s is "Daily rates of production rose from 1 pound of cotton per slave to as much as 50 pounds per slave."

One of the technologies that improved agriculture techniques in the United States during the 1790s, was the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney. The year: 1793. This engine allowed farmers to separate the cotton fibers from the seeds in a quicker way, compared with the time it took slaves to do so. Landlords of large southern plantations increased the number of slaves when they realized they could produce more cotton to export with the use of the cotton gin and extra slaves.
