Dear Diary,
I'm in a bind right now cause not able to grow short-staple cotton. I have no choice but to grow long-staple because short-staple is to hard to clean. I wish i could grow short-staple cotton cause it is so much easier to grow. Ohhh.... I've just heard that my wish has come true! Eli Whitney has now made it so. I can now grow it for a profit. This machine is said to clean the seeds out of the cotton. Do you realize how great this is? It is in such demand in the North and in Britain will help out greatly.
Hope it is successful,
Sam
This Cotton Gin separated the North and South in the way that they went different ways, but it was good for America as a whole. It helped America expand by the Cotton farmers extending between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi. It also effected America by the wealthy farmers buying huge chunks of land and cultivated it. It also increased slavery greatly. The wealthy slave farmers had made slave labor force. It was known as the Cotton Kingdom. The Cotton Gin also made the price of Cotton decrease.

this is a great post Sammie.. maybe next time you might want to "stick to one color" you never know someone might NOT like the color green, when being a blogger you shuld always think of the reader 1st!! ha ha just kidding. it really is good
Very nice work, but one question when the person was writing did they take along time because apparently they didn't have the cotton gin when they started but then they did and it took a few years to be produced and even then it would take a month or so before everyone new about it becaue of the mail system. And even if they did learn of it while mid-writing would they have not begun a new diary entry for this wonderous revolation?
I was just wondering.
