Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin. This invention rescued a dying plantation crop as it made a machine sort out cotton seeds that normally was a task done by hand. With the incentive to try to save their cotton plantations, and the world wide demand for cotton growing, plantation owners increased production and added to their wealth.

Who invented the cotton gin near Savannah in 1793?
Eli Whitney is generally credited. He won a contest to design a machine that would remove seeds from cotton efficiently. This was an enormous economic benefit to the South and made cotton the principal crop (previously, it had been tobacco). This expanded the use of slaves, since picking the cotton was still labor-intensive. Incidently, "gin" is short for "engine."
