The cotton gin did not cause the Civil War. The civil war was about slavery. The south wanted slavery and power. They got tired of the North's rules and so they rebelled, causing the Civil War.

Agree with above. The Cotton Gin DID make it feasible to grow cotton on a large scale in the South, and THAT required cheap labor to tend and harvest the crop- tending to make slavery economically attractive.
