Best known for inventing the cotton gin, one of the most important American inventions of the century, he changed cotton production forever. A few years later, Whitney invented machines to make muskets that were identical. The first mass-manufacturing business in the country, his musket factory revolutionized the way Americans made things.

Book Description
True or false? Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, a machine for removing seeds from cotton. False! Eli Whitney was the first person to build a wire-toothed cotton gin. But Eli's gin was not the first machine of its kind. He made nails to earn money when he was a boy. He went to court to protect his wire-toothed cotton gin when others tried to build similar machines. He started his own musket-making business.

Lakwete shows how indentured British, and later enslaved Africans, built and used foot-powered models to process the cotton they grew for export. After Eli Whitney patented his wire-toothed gin, southern mechanics transformed it into the saw gin, offering stiff competition to northern manufacturers.
