Firstly, advancements in technology, such as the introduction of new farming machinery like the cotton gin, made cotton cultivation more efficient and profitable. Secondly, the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery opened up new labor opportunities for farmers, leading to an increase in cotton production.
