It was invented by a young genius called Eli Whitney on his first visit to the South.
In Georgia, he heard a lot of farmers complaining about the slow process of separating the lint from the seed in short-staple cotton. This problem intrigued him, and he declared that there must be a solution.
Almost overnight he came back with a set of wire 'claws' that could be rotated with a handle. This greatly speeded-up the process, and it revolutionised the cotton industry.
actually it was farmers they grew it
Tobacco was grown before cotton became king. Eli Whitney's cotton gin was an important step into making cotton a marketable crop. Before growing cash crops, farmers grew food crops and plants to feed livestock.
Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin and it helped southern farmers pick seeds from their cotton.
Slaves were the free labor that the farmers needed to harvest the cotton>
Before the cotton gin was invented back in 1793, farmers or plantation owners either had workers, or slaves pick the seeds from the cotton by hand.
cheeze is good
Crop rotation is important to the cotton farmers because they need the nutrients from the soil for other crops so they don't use it all in just one kind of plant.
i think it is cotton,and weed:D
Life before the cotton gin for people was a bit harder they had to hand pick the cotton themselves
Cotton
Crop rotation was important to farmers because it helped them out by making it easier to crop in the winter from different land in another state.
Cotton had a major impact on slavery especially after Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin. As to Westward expansion farmers bought land in Alabama and Mississippi on which to farm cotton.
