In the late 1700s, England was hungry for cotton. Until this

time, women and girls of the family generally did the spinning

and weaving. Then improvements were made to the spinning

wheel and loom, making them faster and more efficient. As a

result, the process became mechanized, and new textile mills

opened to meet the growing demand for cotton cloth.

2 In America in 1792, Eli Whitney recognized that the

mechanization of the cloth-making process meant a greater

demand for cotton. Cotton grew easily in the Southern states, but

the cotton bolls contained numerous small seeds that were

difficult and time-consuming to remove by hand. Unless a more

efficient way could be found to separate the seeds from the bolls,

there was little money to be made in growing cotton.

3 As a young man, Eli Whitney liked figuring out things. He studied

machines and often found ways to improve them. Whitney began to

think about the problem of removing seeds from cotton and decided

that a machine could be built to do the job efficiently.

4 The machine Whitney designed was simple, but it worked like a

charm. Cotton was fed into a machine with short wire teeth on a

revolving cylinder. The thin cotton fibers were pulled through,

leaving the seeds behind. Now, a single machine was capable of

cleaning and processing up to fifty pounds of raw cotton daily.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

When it comes to speeches, using the word "you" is used to make those at home feel like they are being directly spoken with, and are important. Presidential speeches will often appeal to the masses by using terms like "all you folks at home" or "the people" to create a sense of unity within their followers(? or whatever you'd call them)
