Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin transformed the nature of U. S. slavery in the early 1800s. Enslavement grew larger and more profitable than ever before in the nation’s history. While Southern states took steps to protect the practice, a growing antislavery movement was brewing in the North.
