106 Cotton Gin What did this invention do? Before the cooton gin it took a realy long time to take the seeds off cotton.Cotton costed alot more when it was hand madethan when machines piked the seeds.There where more than a million slaves piking cotton.

How the invention changed lives? This invention changed lives because when the Cotton Gin wasn't invented people had to pick cotton by hand. It took very long for them to take out the cotton by hand. They also coudn't have any breaks. They wanted to quit but if they quit they'll have no money and no food to eat. Farms were really small too. Farm owners were very mean to the farmers so they are always sad and not in the mood. Life was very hard. But, when the Cotton Gin was invented they had no more problems!!!!!

How did this invention lead to other inventions? The slaves were sort of glad after the invention because since there was more plantations, there were more slaves. The inventions helped landowners by having a lot of cotton produced in one day. More and more cotton produced in a faster rate.

Besides solving problems, what are some other reasons that people invent things like machines?

After the invention the cloth cost less, picking cotton seeds was less time. There was less work for slaves but for plantation owners it was more money then after there were less work there were more plantations and more slaves to pick the cotton and work the Cotton Gin.
