Two significant inventions that transformed American lives in the 1800s were the cotton gin and the steam engine. The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, revolutionized the cotton industry by greatly increasing the efficiency of cotton processing, which in turn fueled the expansion of slavery in the South. The steam engine, improved by figures like Robert Fulton, facilitated faster transportation through steam-powered boats and trains, dramatically enhancing trade and travel across the growing nation.
