The+Growth+of+Slavery+in+the+1800's

Contrary to most beliefs the north was very much a part of the growth of slavery in the U.S, becuse they developed the cotton into items that made the north and the south very wealthy. The majority of the textile factories were in the north and they sold and traded to the fellow states and had a strong trade agreement with the english. When the cotton gin was made in 1793 it greatly increased the productivity of plantaions becuase it seperated the seeds from the actual cotton. This reduced the need for indviduals to seperate the cotton. This allowed plantaions to mass produce there cotton and trade and sell to textiles in the north and the english. This gratly increased the profitability of plantaions and more began to apear. To deal with the demand, slave traders began to go farther into africa to get slaves.
