Cotton Gin

The cotton gin, a machine that separates the cotton fibers from the seeds, revolutionized the economy of the early United States. Cheap, plentiful cotton spurred the cloth industry worldwide, encouraged invention and manufacturing in the North, enriched Southern plantation owners and vastly increased the number of slaves needed for planting and harvesting. Many believe that while Eli Whitney’s invention was a great boost for the Industrial Revolution, it may have inadvertently led to the Civil War.

How do you act like Gin Ichimaru?

Act happy and funny when inside you're actually deadly! Remember how Rukia feels like there is a snake wrapped around her neck just by his presence. Have no mercy, tease people at any time. (Please don't be like this in real life)

Smile, have your eyes half open and never take anything seriously! Act weak but be deadly on the inside! If you saw him you would think he smiles so much and he looks so weak, but he isn't really! Be friends with most people. If your cheeks hurt too much you could stop smiling. Don't move your arms much, you keep them held behind your back or sides! I Love bleach!
