" Before its invention, cotton clothing was relatively expensive. The cotton crop, when harvested, had lots of seeds in it that had to be picked out manually. A lot of slave labor was used just for that, and it was extremely time-consuming. The gin made it possible to do the job mechanically, quickly, and with little labor. "
