The two most important factors in Georgia's growth after the American Revolution were:

  1. Cotton - The rise of cotton as a cash crop, particularly with the invention of the cotton gin in the late 18th century, significantly boosted Georgia's agricultural economy and led to increased demand for land and labor.

  2. Slavery - The expansion of cotton production was heavily reliant on slave labor, which allowed for the large-scale cultivation and processing of cotton, contributing to Georgia's growth and economic development in the 19th century.
