Question

What is the difference between the cotton gin of Eli Whitney and the modern cotton gin

Answer 1

A cotton gin is a machine that quickly and easily separates cotton fibers from their seeds, enabling much greater productivity than manual cotton separation.[1] The fibers are then processed into various cotton goods such as linens, while any undamaged cotton is used largely for textiles like clothing.
