The cotton gin helped farmers remove cotton seeds quickly, making more cotton. The South had lots of cotton farms and used enslaved people to work on them, depending on cotton. The North didn't have as many farms and didn't rely on cotton as much. This caused problems between the two regions.

The cotton gin was a machine that made it much faster and easier for farmers to separate cotton seeds from the cotton fibers. As a result, it allowed for a larger production of cotton. In the South, where there were many cotton farms, enslaved people were predominantly used to cultivate and harvest the cotton, as it was a major part of their economy. On the other hand, the North had fewer farms and did not heavily depend on cotton. This difference in reliance on cotton led to conflicts and issues between the South and North regions.
