(Student response here)
The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, revolutionized the American economy by significantly increasing the efficiency of cotton processing. This innovation made cotton production more profitable and led to the expansion of cotton plantations in the South. Consequently, it also intensified the demand for slave labor, contributing to the entrenchment of the institution of slavery.
