14 mars 1794 - Eli Whitney invents the cotton gin
Description:
A cotton gin is a machine that quickly and easily separates cotton fibers from their seeds, enabling much greater productivity than manual cotton separation. The fibers are then processed into various cotton goods such as linens, while any undamaged cotton is used largely for textiles like clothing.Ajouté au bande de temps:
