The McCormick reaper exponentially increased the agricultural output. While this raised supply and quantity of U.S. imports, it was also detrimental to farmers because it caused a deflation of price in the crops. Furthermore, due to the fact that the reaper was quite expensive, agriculture slowly started to shift towards rich companies rather than poor, local farmers. The reaper made agriculture far more mechanized and competitive.

McCormick did NOT invent the reaper. McCormick bought the patent from the man that actually invented it. I have proof to back this up. There is a news paper article and solid silver cup with the inventor's name and date the reaper was built.
