Anonymous · Answer

The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, transformed cotton into a major cash crop for the South by increasing production efficiency. This led to significant growth in cotton cultivation and a deeper reliance on enslaved labor. The invention ultimately shaped the Southern economy and society during the antebellum period.
