War of 1812. His muskets were the first to have interchangeable parts. Yet not all of his muskets had the interchangeable parts and the first ones took place at the federal government Arsenal at Harpers Ferry in 1827 making 1,700 muskets a year. Jefferson had discussed a French musket workshop with Whitney before he made his first delivery to the government. He signed a contract with the government on June 14, 1798 to produce 10,000 muskets in 28 months at the cost of 134,000.00. By 1801 Whitney needed money and an extension of his contract. The last of the contract was delivered in 1809, ten years after the first contract. His profit was 2,500.00. Whitney died on January 8, 1825. His ideas left a model for the production of carriages, clocks, springs, rubber products, hardware and more. The factory was leased by his grandson to Oliver Winchester who made the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1858. These .22 caliber rifles will change the civil war.

Are muskets of the civil war soft or loud?
Loud. This is because there is much more gunpowder involved and all the components in the "bullet" are not in a case so it allows the sound to travel more.
How did Eli Whitney make the civil war more likely and give the union an advantage once the war began?
His invention of the cotton-gin turned ordinary planters into a new aristocracy that discouraged their sons from going into industry or commerce, while meantime the North was developing new manufacturing technology. When the war came, the North was able to manufacture all manner of war supplies, while the South had to try to import them, against the successful US Naval blockade.

How do you build a nuke?
This question is, unless I'm mistaken, unanswerable due to the rules that I have agreed to in order to do this task. Learning how to build a nuclear weapon, or nuke, is NOT something appropriate for all ages.

What impact did Eli Whitney's propal of making gun parts in 1798 have on the manufacturing process in many industries?
Eli Whitney's use of interchangeable parts in muskets greatly increased the production capability of muskets, and subsequently many other goods, in the United States. This system replaced the existing process of building one individual gun at a time. This process involved individual gunsmith's making guns out of their own individual parts which were incompatible with one another. This means that muskets were expensive to make initially and were nearly impossible to repair if the original gunsmith were not available. Eli Whitney's system involved using molds for each individual part of a musket. This allowed for the rapid and cheap production of muskets. This invention is considered a key development of the Industrial Revolution and set the precedent for production improvements across all industries in the U.S.

It could separate the seeds from fiber with the turn of a handle. The inventor, Eli Whitney, was a Yale graduate who worked as a tutor to the children of a Georgia planter. Whitney's invention tripled cotton production in ten years. By 1860, cotton represented nearly two thirds of all American exports.

How is the cotton gin and the musket connected to the industrial revolution?
Interchangeable parts, popularized in America when Eli Whitney used them to assemble muskets in the first years of the 19th century. The event that laid the groundwork for this monumental change was the introduction of interchangeable parts, or pre-manufactured parts that were for all practical purposes identical, into the firearms industry. He also made the first cotton gin.
What was it like for Eli Whitney before he became famous?
Before Eli Whitney became famous he worked in the fields farms with his mom died and after all those years he decided to go to college and graduated from Yale in 1792 and then he went on to the South for a JOB and he probably saw people pick cotton and complaining about their hands and things. so in 1793 Whitney finished his first model of the cotton gin.....
Where did Eli Whitney have a gun factory?
They were all made by hand before the gun factory was made to make interchangeable parts so the gun parts could fit almost all types of riffles and weapons.
