How Did Eli Whitney Make the Cotton Gin?
Eli Whitney knew that an invention was needed to remove the sticky seeds from the kind of cotton that grew inland throughout the southern region. Otherwise, it was too time-consuming to remove the seeds and cotton growers would not be able to be profitable. He put off his interest in pursuing a law career to dedicate himself to his workshop in order to make the cotton gin. You can find more info at: http://www.eliwhitney.org/new/museum/eli…
