Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in 1947!

The cotton gin was one of the most important inventions of this time period because it made the Southern slave states more dependant on slavery and cotton to help keep their economy strong. The "peculiar institution" of slavery expanded as Northern and Southern attitudes of contempt and disagreement led them to dispute and eventually the Civil War.
