Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. It help slaves become free.
Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin in 1793 revolutionized cotton production by significantly speeding up the process of separating cotton fibers from seeds. This efficiency led to a dramatic increase in cotton cultivation in the southern United States, which created a higher demand for labor to plant and harvest the crops. As a result, plantation owners expanded their use of enslaved labor to meet the growing demands of the cotton industry, thereby entrenching and expanding the institution of slavery in the region.
You would think that since there aren't as many hands needed to separate cotton, there would be a decrease in slavery. However, plantation owners only grew more cotton which needed more slaves to pick, then needed even more slaves to operate the cotton gin. In fact, after the invention of the cotton gin, slavery soon quadrupled.
no
people don't have to pick cotton, and hurt their hands
One difficulty in growing cotton before the invention of the cotton gin was the labor-intensive process of separating cotton fibers from their seeds. This task was time-consuming and required significant manual effort, making cotton production less efficient and more costly. As a result, it limited the scale at which cotton could be cultivated and processed, hindering the growth of the cotton industry. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 revolutionized this process, dramatically increasing cotton production and profitability.
To make the removal of seeds from cotton easier.
i think its helping with the cotton gin
the speed by which seeds were removed from the fibers was increased
The invention of the cotton gin allowed for a more efficient method of separating cotton from its seeds. This allowed the South to produce more cotton at a faster rate, thereby increasing its economy and trade.
