In the 1800s, several products significantly contributed to the growth of the U.S. economy. The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney, revolutionized cotton production, making it a key export and driving the Southern economy. The expansion of the railroad system facilitated the movement of goods, while steel production, particularly with innovations like the Bessemer process, enabled infrastructure development. Additionally, the rise of the textile industry transformed raw materials into finished products, stimulating industrial growth and urbanization.
