So, I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this already but I did a search and nothing popped up.
Exactly as the title suggests, what if the cotton gin was never invented. Or if that's impossible, as it was a "necessity" for plantation owners who grew cotton, what if it wasn't invented until the mid to late 1800s?
What would the repercussions have upon slavery, and the economic well-being of the American South?
Again, I'm really sorry if this has already been discussed.
