The correct statement is:

As the demand for cotton increased in the North, slavery increased in the South.

This reflects the historical context of the early to mid-1800s, particularly the impact of the cotton economy and the rise of cotton as a cash crop, which led to an increase in the demand for slave labor in the Southern states.
