What was created in South Carolina to
help further education?
At first, why was cotton not a good
cash crop?
Changes for South Carolina
College of Charleston
Short
Staple
Cotton
South Carolina started
undergoing some major
changes as well. Academies
and the College of
Charleston were built to
further education.
Another change that
occurred was a change in
cash crops. Two types of
cotton were grown in South
Carolina, but they didn’t
make a lot of money
because it took a long time
to remove the seeds.
Why did the cotton gin create a
greater need for slaves?
Changes for South Carolina
The invention of the
cotton gin made cotton a
profitable cash crop in the
Upcountry. Eli Whitney’s
machine reduced the time
it took to remove the
seeds from cotton.
Planters could now grow
and sell more cotton at a
faster rate, and the need
in the Upcountry for slaves
to plant, harvest and
process the cotton
increased.

Why had Low Country planters
resisted giving the Up Country more
representation in legislature?
What caused the Low Country’s
willingness to share power to
increase?
Changes for South Carolina
Slaves preparing cotton for market
Low Country planters had
resisted giving the Up
Country more even
representation in the
legislature because they
feared that the Up
Country farmers did not
support slavery. As the
numbers of slaves in the
Upcountry increased, the
willingness of the Low
Country to share power
increased as well.
How did the compromise of 1808
change the amount of
representation?
Who had more control over the
government with this compromise?
What did the Low Country and the Up
Country both have as a result of the
compromise?
Changes for South Carolina
South Carolina’s original
State House
In the compromise of 1808, the legislature agreed to
change the amount of representation. Representation
was to be based equally on the white population and
the amount of taxable property (slaves). This gave the
area that had the most slaves (the Low Country) more
control over the legislature, however, now both the
Low Country and the Up Country had their share of
slaves and political power within the state.
