The invention of the cotton gin.
Explanation:
The cotton gin made the production of cotton much easier. Since cotton was the biggest crop grown in the South, the production increased largely.
The invention separated the cotton from the seed. As a result, more cotton was produced each day. The cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney in 1793.
