the cotton gin
When the Cotton Gin was first developed in 1793 by Eli Whitney, it was one of the most popular tools during that time period. The Cotton Gin had helped the settlers so much that because of it, slaves were growing anonymously. There were many slaves coming to the south and the farmers had made huge profits out of using the Cotton Gin. If you didn't know what a cotton gin is, a Cotton Gin is a machine that removes the seeds from the cotton so that a person doesn't have to do it manually making the job a whole lot easier.
