They were needed to do the work. Plantations are huge and grow a lot of crops. One of the main crops was cotton which is a labor intensive crop. Before the cotton gin the cotton seeds had to be removed by hand. This is hard to do because cotton is dense and the seeds are small. Cotton is also hard to pick. The cotton plant has thorns and the cotton is hard to remove from the bolls. Slaves also planted by hand a rice plant that had stems that would cut their hands as they stood all day in ankle deep water. There was not enough workers to work the plantation systems so they turned to slavery. It was also easy to recognize who was a slave and who wasn't. Any African American was a slave and required a pass to be off the plantation.
"Raw" cotton means cotton that is unginned.

Eli Whitney in 1793 -- invented the cotton gin.AnswerIn 1850, Taylure and Paige made the first attempt to develop a mechanical cotton picker with the intent of replacing manual labor. Mechanical cotton pickers had no further inventions until the founder of Price Campbell Cotton Picker Corporation created one in 1889. Very little progress was made from then until 1924, when the Price-Campbell patents were purchased by International Harvester. Many experimental machines that were greatly improved from Price-Campbell's inventions were brought out during the period from 1924 until 1939. The idea of mechanical cotton picking began to be practical in 1943, when International Harvester produced the first dozen of their successful commercial cotton pickers. Although there were many attempts to invent successful cotton pickers, their use was not made practical until the 1950s, and even then, it was not immediately implemented on most farms.
