Cotton Gin

Hello my name is Eli Whitney. I invented the cotton gin. I made the cotton gin in hopes that it would increase output of more and cleaner cotton. Also to make the slaves work just a little bit easier. After the cotton is picked you need to clean it because it still has some impurities. The seeds need to be taken out so the cotton can be weaved into thread. Before the cotton gin this was done by hand and it was very inefficient. But now all you have to do is stick the cotton into the machine and turn the crank and it takes the seeds out.

Because of the demand of cotton the Cotton gin was widely accepted and many, many people have already bought them. Because of the gin the slaves had more free time and are now able to do more work that needs to be done. I am now readying a shipment to be sent to texas of some of my Cotton gins.
