When Europeans founded colonies in America they relied on cotton to make a living. In the early days, growing and harvesting cotton was a hard job that was done manually by slaves. In 1793 an American, Eli Whitney, invented the cotton gin, a machine that separated seeds from fiber. This new invention allowed farms to produce even more cotton. In the second part of the 20th century people started to produce synthetic fibers, like nylon and acrylic. The importance of cotton fiber began to drop.
Whitneyâs hand-cranked machine could remove the seeds from 50 pounds of cotton in a single day. Whitney received a patent for his invention in 1794; he and Miller then formed a cotton gin manufacturing company. The two entrepreneurs planned to build cotton gins and install them on plantations throughout the South, taking as payment a portion of all the cotton produced by each plantation.
