Cotton was needed around the world because of the invention of the spinning machine. There was a great need for workers, to work the fields and gin the cotton, thus more slaves were needed. This made life difficult for the slaves. Slaves were worth more money, and the whites’ attitudes changed toward the slaves and there was a decline of freed slaves after 1800. Therefore the slave population grew.

The Cotton Gin The cotton gin, one of the most important inventions for the south. It all started a long time ago when Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. The problem with picking the cotton gin was slaves had to separate the cotton from its seed which was difficult. Even though the Cotton Gin was created to make slave labor easier it counter acted. In my opinon without the cotton gin slavery might not have lasted as long as it did.
This meant that slavery was permitted in areas that the climate permitted slave based farming. Slaves were linked directly to tobacco even though in 1787 was on the decline. An English textile industry had a need for cotton. Eli Whitney in 1793, invented the cotton gin which meant a larger need for slavery and ended up in slaves to advance. By 1819 new states were all being added as slave states.

The railways, particularly the Trans-Siberian railway, also gave Eastern Russia a link to Europe and Western Russia a link to the Pacific Ocean, which made it easier to export Russian goods. Therefore the Russian governments’ investment in railways was extremely successful in promoting economic growth. The Russian government was also successful in improving Russia’s heavy industry through the introduction of tariffs on imports. This clearly helped Russian heavy industry to expand as steel production increase eightfold from 1880 to 1905 and petroleum production increased over 2500% during the same time period. These tariffs, introduced by Vyshnedgradsky and continued by Witte, both increased revenue for the government and made

America Transformed Timeline and Paper HIS/110 January 31, 2011 America Transformed Timeline and Paper The industrialization of America contributed to the economic development of the country in many, many ways. Firstly, we need to define industrialization, which usually refers to a change from home and hand production to machine and factory production. The invention of water-powered spinning and weaving machines greatly increased production of material. The cotton gin, which was invented by Eli Whitney in 1794, greatly increased the cultivation of cotton in the south. When steam power replaced water power, industries and factories arose, creating industrialized areas which attracted more and more people with the promise of paying jobs.
Smaller gins could be cranked by hand; larger ones could be powered by a horse and, later, by a steam engine. Whitney's hand-cranked machine could remove the seeds from 50 pounds of cotton in a single day. (Bellis.M) • Revolutionary Cotton Gin This machine boosted the cotton production to many folds by reducing the amount of labor needed to seperate cotton from seeds. (Bellis.M) • Annual production of cotton in south increased dramatically from 2 million pounds in 1795 to nearly a billion pounds in 1860. (Bellis.M) • It became a hit making many farmers and other industrialists millionaire.
