Answer:

Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin. While it was true that it reduced the labor of removing seeds, it did not reduce the need for slaves to grow and pick the cotton. Actually, it increased the amount of slaves and want for land. By 1860, there was an estimate of 4 million slaves.

Why do you think general order 143 and the emancipation proclamation were important during the civil war
klasskru [66]
<span>The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863 that abolished slavery in all states including those in the Confederacy.  It is still an important document today because it finally removed the practice of slavery in America.  Never again would people be bought or sold like property and it also defined that all people were equal and that no one had the right to enslave another.  General Order 143 that enabled slaves and free blacks to enlist in the Union Army during the Civil War. The color regiments performed well and President praised these men for their sacrifice in winning the war.  It is still relevant today , we judge not by their color but how well they perform and how committed they are to the cause at hand.</span>
