== == A machine invented by Eli Whitney that separates cotton fibers from the seedpods. It is an easier way than separating the fibers from the pod by hand.
The Cotton Gin merely raised the demand for cotton as it was a machine that quickly separated the cotton from the seed. But what the Cotton Gin couldn't do was pick the cotton. Paying people to pick the cotton was now even less cost efficient...
The purpose of ginning cotten is for fabric used for clothes, linens, ect.
Cotton seed: the seeds of the cotton plant. Seed cotton: the cotton fiber with seeds still attached, still needing to go through the cotton gin.
The seed of cotton is called 'cotton seed'.The pod that contains the cotton seed and the cotton fiber is called a 'boll'.
No. It was created to remove cotton seed from the cotton. To remove the seeds without the gin meant hours of work picking them out by hand. With the cotton gin pounds of cotton could be processed and more grown.
Cotton lint is the fibre derived from seed cotton after the seed cotton has been ginned. Seed cotton is the ball of the cotton plant as picked from the field.
Black seed cotton has smoother seeds and green seed cotton has spiky seeds. This makes it harder to clean green seed cotton than it is to clean black seed, because the green seeds will stick to the cotton fibers.
