Question: By the 1840s, India was no longer capable of supplying the vast quantities of cotton fibers needed by mechanized British factories, while shipping bulky, low-price cotton from India to Britain was time-consuming and expensive. This, coupled with the emergence of American cotton as a superior type (due to the longer, stronger fibers of the two domesticated native American species, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense), encouraged British traders to purchase cotton from plantations in the United States and plantations in the Caribbean. By the mid-19th century, "King Cotton" had become the backbone of the southern American economy. In the United States, cultivating and harvesting cotton became the leading occupation of slaves.
Is there an answer to this question: What was the difference that made American cotton preferred over Indian cotton?

Answer: longer, stronger fibers

Question: This narrative draws on the Nidanakatha of the Jataka tales of the Theravada, which is ascribed to Buddhaghosa in the 5th century CE.

the Buddhacarita
