It would be nice to see some updates on history lessons. A friend of mine in Jones county Georgia had a barn with a cotton gin in it that was older than Eli Whitney. He gave it to a museum. I wonder why that didn't make news.

[Ghatescinnamon7]

I read this 8 weeks ago in social studies (3rd grade "9")

[ColeEgner21]

Thanks. This really helped for my project

[DawnOfTheAcopalypse]

It is quite impressive of how a small simple machine impacted an entire nation. It does not matter if Whitney did invent the cotton gin or not, what does matter is the machine. It did affected slavery. In the times before the cotton gin, slavery was getting off-stylish, due to it being expensive (the owners had to cloth, feed them and buy their slaves

). India was a major cotton producer thanks to its size and easiness, but the small american giber was hard to tend. The cotton gin stoped this.

[Dezzerthegasser]

this helped me sooo much thank you

[22mrgrant]

lmao i just learned about this in history class

[vivapalestine2]

Great job!!

[benhaversham]

All of this is technically right, according to the traditional view of Whitney and the cotton gin, but recently historians have admitted that Whitney did not invent the cotton gin, and they debate what extent it helped maintain slavery. BTW, one third of the US population were slaves before the cotton gin; it didn't change until slavery was abolished. The best new book on this subject is Angela Lakwete's "Inventing the Cotton Gin"

[ProjectEndgame]
