Since the 18th century, the United States has funded dreams to come true for fleeing immigrants from socio-economic problems since the innovation of many brilliant inventors have come to play, to provide jobs for many at an easy cause effort. Many innovators such as Samuel F.B Morse, Eli Whitney, and James Watt who have engulfed the old agricultural world and modified it into a more industrial carefree environment for all in the United States making the
Some struggles had to be overcome though, since is the beginning of something new and it's all based on an idea or theory.

Since his father owned a workshop, he could basically build anything. Seeing for his own how a plantation worked and the work labor that most black put forth to come up with not a lot of product, Whitney was determined to find an alternative for faster production. Whitney being the skilled craftsman he was, he quickly came up with the first working Cotton Gin in 1793, which was a “revolving crank that caused a cylinder cover with wired teeth to revolve, the teeth pulled the cotton fiber, carrying it through slots in in the cylinder as it revolved.
