Did slaves use cotton gins?

Yes. Slaves often, almost always, used cotton gins to do their work on a farm. Since the invention of the cotton gin in 1794 by Eli Whitney, a southern schoolteacher, cotton gins grew immensely popular and were used quite often throughout the 1800s as an aid to both farmers and slaves. With the invention of the cotton gin, picking the seeds from fluffy cotton bolls was made a much simpler task. The gin made an easier way for cotton bolls to be separated from the seeds that farmers didn't need to be sold, and that couldn't be made into cloth. Slaves usually did the majority of the farm work on any southern farm, and so they usually used the cotton gin to help them quicken the task of cleaning cotton. The cotton gin works through feeding cotton bolls into the machine, spinning a handle on the side, which separates the cotton from the seeds, and then fluffy tufts of cleaned cotton come out through the other side. Cotton gins were initially made to cut down slave labor because of their simplicity and speed, but in actuality they raised the amount of slave labor growing in the south because now one worker could produce more cotton in an hour than 50 workers in the same amount of time without the aid of a gin. So to answer your question, yes, slaves utilized cotton gins quite often.
