Finger [1]

* Warning information from online*

Eli Whitney was born on December 8, 1765, in West borough, Massachusetts. Growing up, Whitney, whose father was a farmer, proved to be a talented mechanic and inventor. Among the objects he designed and built as a youth were a nail forge and a violin. In 1792, after graduating from Yale College (now Yale University), Whitney headed to the South. He originally planned to work as a private tutor but instead accepted an invitation to stay with Catherine Greene (1755–1814), the widow of an American Revolutionary War (1775-83) general, on her plantation, known as Mulberry Grove, near Savannah, Georgia. While there, Whitney learned about cotton production–in particular, the difficulty cotton farmers faced making a living.

How did the tang and song dynasties culturally differ?
zloy xaker [14]
The Song Dynasty practiced Buddhism whereas the Tang banned the religion and persecuted those who followed it during the later time of their ruling. The Tang Dynasty also had expanded their empire and even reformed civil service. The Tang expanded and conserved their power by establishing tributary states. They had a stronger more powerful military when compared to the Song. The Song Dynasty ruled a smaller empire during their time that primarily relied on sea power. Their military power was weaker than what the Tang Dynasty’s was.
