    During the period between 1790 and 1850, the United States was rapidly changing. It was now a separate country with its own economy, laws, and government. The country was learning to live on its own, apart from England. There began to appear a rift between North and South. The North believing in the Puritan Merchant role model, and the South in the role model of the English Country Squire. The North traded with everyone, while the South traded primarily with England. The major crop in the South was tobacco, and because of the decline in the price of tobacco the slave trade was dying, just as those in the North hoped it would. Then came a man, and an invention, which changed the course of history. In 1792, Eli Whitney visited the plantation of Catherine Greene, the wife of Revolutionary War general, Nathaniel Greene, near Savannah Georgia. He watched cotton being cleaned; a very long and time consuming process to do by hand. Watching the cotton being cleaned an idea came to Whitney. He decided he would build a machine that would clean cotton faster than it could be done by hand. Thus, he created the cotton gin.…

    Spanish priests began to set up missions along the western coasts to encourage the Native Americans to adopt Christianity. English settlers, on the other hand, had planned from the very start of their expedition to stay in the New world. As England was facing overpopulation, famine, and a lack of jobs, many English immigrated to America with no other option. Southern states became rich in the cash crop business. Cotton, sugar, and tobacco grew easily in the southern states making any landowner an almost instant success. The northern states were not as lucky with the weather as such profitable crops were not as easily grown there but they were able to farm just for themselves, but found much needed work as traders, wage workers, and fishers.…
