It is a machine which was invented by Whitney that separates cotton fiber from the seeds. Before this invention separation of cotton seeds from cotton fiber took a lot of time because the process was made manually with help of primitive tools. An invention of a cotton gin in 1792 helped to increase raw cotton production from 1,556,000 lbs. in 1790 to 8,359,500 lbs. in 1796. Even though of its efficiency, the invention has positive and negative consequences. Cotton collecting was faster and increased export of raw cotton and profits, but at the same time import of slaves from Africa
