7. Most slaves were concentrated in the "black belt" of the Deep South(stretched from South Carolin and Georgia into the new southwest states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana"
8. They didn't have the money to buy the slaves.
9.In the upper South, the free slaves population could be traced back to a wavelet of emancipation inspired by the idealism of the Revolutionary days. In the deeper south many free blacks were mulattoes, usually the emancipate children of a white planeter and his black mistress. Some purchased their freedom with earnings from laber after hours.
10. The invention of the cotten gin. Do to this cotton growth increases and cotton becomes a high demand crop. By 1840 cotton was 1/2 the USA's exports. Produces 1/2 the worlds cotton.
