Why did Whitney consider standardized parts? He needed to replace pieces of his cotton gin. He wanted to multiply the number of

guns produced. He hoped to sell his ideas to factories. He had a contract with the British government to mass produce weapons.
History

REY [17]3 years ago
8 0

Eli Whitney was an American inventor known for inventing the machine that separates the seed from the cotton, called cotton gin. During a period of political instability, the War Department of the USA approved a contract of weapons purchase, and Whitney obtained the contract.

But the problem was the inventor never manufactured a gun in his life. The solution he had was the adoption of standardized parts to accomplish his task. This process created precision equipment that allowed the production of large numbers of identical parts quickly and at a comparably low cost. This new method transformed the manufacturing industry and contributed considerably to the US victory in the Civil War.

In conclusion, in order to attend the contract with the government and to multiply the number of guns produced, Eli Whitney had to resort in the standardized or interchangeable industrial development.

gogolik [260]
An immediate result of Lincoln's election in 1860 was that South Carolina seceded (left) the Union.

Only one month after Lincoln won the presidency, South Carolina left the United States. Within three months, seven states would join South Carolina. All of these states were worried that Lincoln would try to abolish the institution of slavery in the Southern states. The succession of these states helps lead to the Civil War.

Legislative - Creates and passes laws; Has two houses (usually)

Judicial - Contains a court system; Interprets state laws

Explanation:

The government has three branches and these are: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

The "Executive branch" is responsible for the governance of a state. The leader of the branch is the "President." However, every state is headed by an elected governor. This branch also contains state agencies and other related agencies.

The "Legislative branch" is responsible for creating and passing laws. It contains two houses (the Senate and House of Representatives).

The "Judicial branch" contains a court system. This system is involved in the interpretation of state laws, as well as the laws made by the legislative branch.
