28 oct 1793 año - Invention of the cotton gin
Descripción:
The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney, was a machine known for operating the seeds from cotton much faster than what slaves have done it solely by hand. Although it made cotton production much more efficient as well as faster, it required slaves to handle the machine so the demand for slaves intensified significantly.Añadido al timeline:
