posted January 02, 2009
Eli Whitney created the modern
Cotton Gin
in 1793. Because this automated the laborious
cotton
picking that many
southern colonial plantations
earned their living from, it was a huge boost to the
Southern American Colonies
economically, as well as making him a perenial favourite in
high school history
tests.
