Eli Whitney's goals and motivations

History

storchak [24]3 years ago
8 0
Whitney's invention made upland short cotton into a profitable crop, which strengthened the economic foundation of slavery in the United States.

Despite the social and economic impact of his invention, Whitney lost many profits in legal battles over patent infringement for the cotton gin. Thereafter, he turned his attention into securing contracts with the government in the manufacture of muskets for the newly formed United States Army. He continued making arms and inventing until his death in 1825.

What is the difference between a free-born man and a slave?
inna [77]

The difference between slavery and its more modern variety was manumission – the ability of slaves to be freed. However, the law gave any children born to freedmen, after formal manumission, full rights of citizenship, including the right to hold office. Informal manumission gave fewer rights.

Nana76 [90]

<em>B. 21st Amendment.</em>

Explanation:

The 18th Amendment banned the production, sale, and distribution of liquor. The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment and made the production, sale, and distribution of liquor legal again.

The 18th Amendment banned alcohol and many people had mixed feelings about it. The temperance movement was essentially against alcohol, wanting it to be banned and prohibited. Many of the people in the temperance movement were women, some of them being victims of domestic violence which they would say was brought on by alcohol.

The banning of alcohol didn't stop a lot of people from obtaining it. Many people would make it from home illegally, or smuggle it in from other countries. Sometimes the police would become corrupt, taking bribes because of liquor. The 18th Amendment proved to be pretty ineffective, many local governments barely taking action to enforce it. Eventually, the 21st Amendment would be ratified, getting rid of the ban on alcohol.
