The Cotton Gin



Dear diary,

today has been the most productive day for me. Now i dont know if Ive told you but I ve been using this thing called a Cotton Gin. Its to amazing its possibilities are endless. The creator of this awsome machine was Eli Whitney, I have to say he was a true genius to come up with such an invetion. This invention of the cotton gin revolutionized the cotton industry in the United States.

Before the Cotton Gin was created farming cotton required hundreds of man-hours to separate the cottonseed from the raw cotton fibers. Simple seed-removing devices have been around forever but Eli Whitney's invention automated the seed separation process, and changed history in the process. Because of this great machine people could generate up to fifty pounds of cleaned cotton daily, making cotton production profitable for the southern states. Since this machine was so great there are times where people have tried ot immitate Mr. Whitneys Machine however there wasnt a thing he could do about it. Sadly, thats just how things are you come up woth a great invention i advice anyone to take it and run (with) it!

Mr. Eli Whitney has changed history with his magnificaent machine, and has opened doors to a new world of cleaning cotton. His idea, will power, and creation was truly something far beyone amazing.
