Eli Whitney's slave was named Caty Greene, who was the daughter of a plantation owner. Although Whitney is best known for inventing the cotton gin, which revolutionized the cotton industry, he did not own slaves himself. Instead, he worked on the plantation of Nathaniel Greene, where he developed his invention. Whitney's work with the cotton gin inadvertently increased the demand for slave labor in the South.
