Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin in 1793 resulted in massive growth in the cotton industry in the American South.


LEARNING OBJECTIVE[ edit ]

Describe the economic and political effects of Eli Whitney's cotton gin

KEY POINTS[ edit ]

With the invention of Eli Whitney's cotton gin in 1793, cotton became a tremendously profitable industry, creating many fortunes for white plantation owners in the antebellum South.
The cotton gin (short for "cotton engine") was a machine that quickly and easily separated cotton fibers from their seeds, a job that otherwise had to be performed painstakingly by hand, most often by slaves.
Cotton soon became the primary export in the United States and by 1860, on the eve of the Civil War, the southern states were providing two-thirds of the world's supply of cotton.
The textile boom in New England created an important domestic market for cotton producers. Cotton plantations depended on slave labor, and as a result of the boom in this industry, slavery increased dramatically in the early nineteenth century.
Due to its profound effect on American slavery, the growth of the cotton industry is frequently cited as one of the causes of the American Civil War.

With the support and blessings of King Fernando de Aragón and Queen Isabella de Castile, the Spanish nave sailed the seas to explore new territories to conquer them for the Spanish Kingdom. If the Spanish were known for great explorers and conquerors it was due to the formidable galleons(ships) fleet they had. In the mid 16th century, Spanish galleons were great ships that served navigators to explore, trade, and protect the Spanish seas and coasts from pirates and invaders. Andalucia, Spain, was one of the most important places where the galleons were built.
