Greene’s foundation of assisting the budget, and their combined moral efforts set up the proper groundwork for the invention’s success, leading to the accomplishment of the product’s patent. Historians have contemplated the idea of Greene designing the cotton gin, implying that Whitney simply constructed the material together and applied for the machine’s patent since women could not do so at the time. The young machine’s capability consisted of collecting twenty bales of cotton for every single bail collected by slave labor, which consisted of the procedure of extracting seeds from the cotton fibers.…
