The most likely cause of the spike in cotton production in Mississippi in the mid-1800s is the invention of the cotton gin. The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, greatly increased the efficiency of cotton processing, making it much easier to separate cotton fibers from seeds. This innovation led to a significant increase in cotton production, as it transformed cotton into a highly profitable cash crop in the southern United States.
