Eli Whitney is best known for inventing the cotton gin, which revolutionized the cotton industry and significantly increased the demand for slave labor in the South. He liked the idea of improving efficiency in manufacturing and agriculture through innovation. However, he disliked the negative social consequences of his inventions, particularly the unintended reinforcement of slavery in America. Whitney also faced challenges with patent protection and the struggle to profit from his inventions, which may have contributed to his frustrations.
