It caused slavery to be more profitable. :)
The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 increased demand forh slaves. Cotton was hand picked those days and cotton needed. The transatlantic slave trade reached its peak between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries spurred by the growth of large plantations in North and South America.
It increased the dependancy for slaves, therefore, increasing the amount of enslaved people. I know, it's sad.

The cotton gin increased production of cotton exponentially in the south. Which increased the economy in the south greatly. The south then began to increase in the number of slaves so they could produce even more cotton. The south was more wealthy then the north and it increased slave trade even more. The cotton gin made relations with north and the south even more tense.

No actually only a small amount of people actually did own slaves but those who did ran huge plantations, also the amount of people that owned slaves also greatly increased after the invention of the cotton gin which made cotton the main cash crop in the south causing many farmers to want to buy slaves.
