It made a few rich, enhanced the southern economy and kept slavery alive.
Working by hand, one slave could clean up to 50lbs. of cotton per day. When cotton gins were run by water power or steam, one slave could clean over 1,000lbs. of cotton per day. With the cotton gin, cotton cleaning became much easier and much faster.

He was an American inventor who invented cotton gin, this was one of the key inventions in the Industrial Revolution that shaped the economy of Antebellum Age.
Eli Whitney is usually given credit, but Honore Blanc was the first to demonstrate firearms assembled from interchangeable parts about 1778. Twenty years later Whitney performed essentially the same demonstration for the US Congress. Neither of these men were able to mass produce their firearms because the parts were still made by skilled craftsmen. In 1814, Eli Terry began production of a wooden clock but his methods were not adaptable to metal machines. Between 1819 and 1826, John Hall constructed specialized machines to cut, form, and mold metal parts for the M1819 Hall rifle at the Harper's Ferry Arsenal and was the first to mass-produce interchangeable parts. At about the same time, Simeon North created the first milling machine that eliminated much of the hand-filing previously required. North also received a contract from the US Congress to provide M1819 Hall rifles and soon parts from a gun produced in Virginia could be used to repair another produced in Connecticut and vice-versa.
When the cotton gin was invented, slaves became incredibly valuable. This invention separated seeds from the white cottony fiber of the cotton, eliminating the need of slaves to do it. So the farmers could now grow more cotton, and to do this they needed more slaves. But at this time slave trade was abolished. So slaves became extremely expensive. From $600 to $1,800!So people started to 'breed' slaves, as a result of this.
Invention requires demand and cotton was one of the most demanded commodities in Europe since it was more comfortable to skin unlike wool and supply had to keep up with demand. Investors gave him the money to make the invention
small gins hand powered, larger one by horse or water wheel
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."
Cause : Cotton Gin was invented
Effect : Cotton gin took seeds out of the cotton easily and quickly and cheaply.
Cause: Since cotton could be cleaned easily, quickly, and cheaply...
Effect:More cotton could be cleaned each day
Cause: Since more cotton could be cleaned each day...
Effect : More cotton could be grown
Cause : Since more cotton could be grown...
Effect : More slaves were needed to tend the cotton crop and to pick it.
Cause : Since more slaves were needed to pick and tend the cotton crops
Effect : Slavery drastically increased in the South and more slaves were bought.
Cause: Since it cost money to buy slaves...
Effect: Southern plantation owners tied up their capital in slavery
Cause: Since Southern plantation owners were spending all of their money on slaves...
EFfect: They didn't have any money left over to build textile mills for their cotton or roads to transport their cotton
Cause : Since the South didn't invest their money in textile mills to mill their cotton...
Effect : The North built the mills and bought the cotton - new spinning and weaving machines as well as cheap child and female labor made these mills highly profitable.
Cause: Since the North was investing their money in mills such as cotton mills...
Effect:They were producing a large and varied amount of goods.
Cause: Since the North was producing a large and varied amount of goods
Effect : They also built roads to transport their many and varied goods that were produced in these mills.
Effect # 2: They also resented cheaper imports of the products and goods that they were making from England since people wanted to buy the cheaper goods rather than their more expensive domestic products.
Cause: Since the North had the factories and mills and transportation system...
Effect : They had a huge advantage over the South when the Civil War began.
Cause: Since the North didn't want people buying the cheaper imports from England...
Effect : They placed tariffs (taxes on exports) on the cheaper products that were being imported.
Cause: After placing tariffs on the imported products...
Effect: The price of these products rose accordingly
Cause: When the prices of these imported goods rose...
Effect: The South resented the price hike.

There is more to this but I am tired of writing them. Hope this helps!
In a rather perverse way, it can be said the rebirth of slavery in the US Southern States was due in part by the lack of a money crop to profitable export. Many historians point out that slavery was becoming a declining institution because of increasing expense of harvesting cotton. Apart from tobacco, which was a soil wasting crop, it depleted the soil rapidly. Other crops such as corn, wheat and rice made for no great wealth. The Cotton Gin made harvesting cotton allot easier, thus the more slaves the South had, the more cotton could be planted & the more profitable were the cotton plantations. Within two years of the widespread use of the cotton gin, the demand for slave labor drastically increased. By the end of those two years, the price of slaves doubled.
Removing seeds from the cotton was a slow painstaking task, but Whitney made it much easier and less labor-intensive.
the cotton gin could clean more cotton, therefore, the farmers needed more land so the native americans had to sell there land.
The cotton gin made processing cotton very easy. This caused a large amount of cotton that could be used in textile factories to the north. This abundance of cotton lowered the prices of clothing made out of cotton. This allowed poor people to own more clothing because of the cheaper costs.
since the plantation owner's found out that cotton could be cleaned easily, quickly and cheaply they bought more slaves so that more cotton could be planted and cleaned. Most plantation owners became richer than they already were
It caused slavery to be more profitable. :)
I think that it will be a infeact about the slayery of the world war 2
And it will be like the fight of the Great Brtain and the French are going to fight for the solders. So it try to go to the war battle and will go to the sailboat in the ocean water of the symbol of the Yankees injury.
Which of Eli Whitney's ideas transformed manufacturing by making each copy of a manufactured item exactly alike? *
You can thank him the ability to have interchangeable parts. Without him we wouldn't be able to repair or replace worn out parts.
Parts could be replaced on a machine without replacing the entire machine.
Eli Whitney designed and built the Cotton Gin which made cotton production twice as fast. So factory owners could buy "Gins' and pay low level workers like women and children to work the machines and produce cotton.
Elie was separated from his mother and sisters during the selection process at Auschwitz concentration camp. They were sent to the gas chambers, while Elie and his father were deemed fit for labor. Elie's grandmother was separated from him upon arrival at the camp and sent to the gas chambers.
He didn’t go to college. Most people didn’t in his time.
