Eli Whitney

The twin and king sizes are interchangeable duo-panels that may be used as either a headboard or footboard.

The cotton gin made selling cotton profitable with slave labor.

He came up with the idea of interchangeable parts.

Whitney took a contract with the United States government to provide them with weapons that had interchangeable parts. He had a two year timeline for the completion of the contract, but it took him 10 years to finally finish the order. He also had to go to court to be recognized as the inventor of the cotton gin and he never received money for his invention.

War of 1812. His muskets were the first to have interchangeable parts. Yet not all of his muskets had the interchangeable parts and the first ones took place at the federal government Arsenal at Harpers Ferry in 1827 making 1,700 muskets a year. Jefferson had discussed a French musket workshop with Whitney before he made his first delivery to the government. He signed a contract with the government on June 14, 1798 to produce 10,000 muskets in 28 months at the cost of 134,000.00. By 1801 Whitney needed money and an extension of his contract. The last of the contract was delivered in 1809, ten years after the first contract. His profit was 2,500.00. Whitney died on January 8, 1825. His ideas left a model for the production of carriages, clocks, springs, rubber products, hardware and more. The factory was leased by his grandson to Oliver Winchester who made the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1858. These .22 caliber rifles will change the civil war.

Eli Whitney and his business partner, Phineas Miller, after problems with Georgia farmers making their own versions of the cotton gin, they sold their patent rights to the state of South Carolina in 1802. They also offered the patent rights to North Carolina and Tennessee, but South Carolina was the only state to pay Eli Whitney for the rights. Even then, South Carolina delayed paying the fee.

Yes very much. Without interchangeable parts most things would have to be made from scratch. Interchangeable parts allows for a part to be replaced without having to rebuild the entire item. Imagine cars without interchangeable parts.

A lot less than before

Nothing. All he did was make it easier for slaves and workers to work by inventing the Cotton Gin.

because it was one of the first cotton gins ever made. It's not much now, but back then it was a lot of money- like a thousand $ for us!!

Elizabeth Whitney was born to prominent figures in early American history. Her father was William Whitney, a successful businessman, and her mother was Mary (née Lathrop) Whitney. The family was well-connected and influential in their community, contributing to Elizabeth's significant role in society.

It made the cotton-farmers rich overnight, and they began to fantasise that they were a proud aristocracy, too good for industrial manufacturing.

This meant that they needed a lot of imports, and Congress had levied high tariffs on these, to protect American industry, which was nearly all in the North.

So Southern leaders planned to secede from the USA, and the huge cotton wealth seemed to make this feasible.

He invented the first mechanical Cotton Gin in 1797 and applied for a patent in 1798. The patent was granted in 1807.

Eli Whitney's Invention was Important because he invented lots of Items such as The Cottin Gin,Spinning Jenny, The Water Frame, & Also Power Loom. They Used These Items While Trade & War.

Most say Eli Whitney, but it is said that a slave made the idea and Eli Whitney adapted it for himself?

From age 18 until he died at age 60.
