The American economy was caught in transition on the eve of the Civil War. What had been an almost purely agricultural economy in 1800 was in the first stages of an industrial revolution which would result in the United States becoming one of the world's leading industrial powers by 1900. But the beginnings of the industrial revolution in the prewar years was almost exclusively limited to the regions north of the Mason-Dixon line, leaving much of the South far behind. His climate and soil in the South are ideal for the growing of cotton. The drawback to cotton is the amount of labor required to clean and separate the fibers from the seeds. In 1793, Eli Whitney introduced "teeth" into the cotton gin; the teeth combed the cotton and separated the seeds, allowing cotton to become a tremendously profitable business. Following his invention, cotton production surpassed that of tobacco in the South and became the dominant cash crop. At the time of the American Civil War, Southern plantations generated 75% of the world's cotton supply.
