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.
He noticed the trouble the slaves were having picking seed from cotton bolls. In his spare time, he put together an instrument that would allow the slaves to clean more cotton in a shorter amount of time. The cotton gin was a very simple invention. First, the cotton bolls were put into the top of the machine. Next, you turn the handle, which turns the cotton through the wire teeth that combs out the seeds. Then the cotton is pulled out of the wire teeth and out of the cotton gin. Farmers were able to plant more cotton.
