The factors that influenced the increased cotton production in 1800-1860s was resources, demand, and technology. The cotton production grew because of three main resources. Land resources increased because the number of farms in America from 1850-1860 increased about 25%. Texas had 30,693 increase in cotton farms. Planters had to move to the west due to the worn out soil. This led to the increase of cotton production. The number of farms increased which led to an increase of slaves,…

The innovation of machinery caused the south to become the world 's largest producer of cotton in during the time of the 19th century.

These conditions were dangerous to an extreme because of different jobs like having to change the bobbins while the machine is still running because there is no way to really turn it off, plus the bosses would most likely never allow it to be turned off because the production levels would go down. This being said, not only was it unsafe, there were to benefits of any sort; No workers comp, breaks, vacation days, sick…

The cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney and invented March 14, 1794. I for one think that this is a major invention. There were many inventions during and before the industrial revolution. Many of the inventions from the industrial revolution we still use today. Many of them we do not use today. Most of the inventions from the industrial era have affected what we do today. We would not be where we're at now if we didn't have the industrial era. The cotton gin is one of the most important…

towards the rate of adopting new technologies is the cotton gin, a hand-cranked machine that separates cotton fibers and seeds. Invented by Eli Whitney in U.S during 1791, it revolutionized the processing of cotton in the southern cotton industry. The raw cotton was laden with seeds, which must be removed by hand. This labor-intensive process demanded more expensive slaves to process the cotton for efficiently. With the invention of the cotton gin, the process became automated and efficient.…
