Best Answer

Eli Whitney was inspired at Mrs. Greene's cotton plantation in Georgia. There he witnessed the hardship that slaves, experienced while harvesting cotton. This was so, because of the kind of cotton that was grown in most parts of the South, was very hard to clean by hand. Because of this Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin.
