The cotton gin did not fail. It worked too well.
This brilliant invention by a young student on his first visit to the South turned cotton into America's biggest export, earned huge wealth for the planters and caused the arrogant attitudes that led to the breakaway Confederacy and the Civil War.
It also created a need for more and better textile machinery to make cotton cloth, sparking inventions in many countries and advancing the Industrial Revolution.
