The cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, and he was awarded a patent for it in 1794. Although Whitney is often credited with the invention, he was not a black man; he was a white American. There were earlier concepts and designs related to cotton processing, but Whitney's design significantly improved the efficiency of separating cotton fibers from seeds.
