Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cotton boom led to a significant increase in the demand for enslaved labor in the South, which caused the redistribution of the African American population. Many slaves were forcibly relocated from the Upper South to the Lower South, where cotton production was more profitable. This resulted in the separation of families and communities, and a significant increase in the number of slaves in the region. The other choices are incorrect as there was no significant wave of European immigration, no widespread manumission movement, and the importation of slaves was illegal after 1808.
