Explanation:

sorry its a little late

Eli Whitney was one of the first great inventors in the United States. He invented the cotton gin, which helped to make cotton the most important crop of the Southern states. He also invented methods of producing many goods quickly and cheaply. Factories still use these methods, called mass production, today.

Eli Whitney was born in Westboro, Massachusetts, on December 8, 1765. He graduated from Yale College in 1792. He then moved south to Georgia.

Many farmers in Georgia grew cotton. Whitney found out that they had no easy way to separate cottonseeds from cotton fiber so that the cotton could be used. Whitney solved the problem by inventing a machine called the cotton gin (short for “engine”). The cotton gin was an immediate success. Farmers were able to produce far more cotton each year. Between 1793 and 1800, U.S. cotton production rose from about 3,000 bales (bundles) a year to 73,000 bales a year.

Whitney also had ideas about how to make things in factories. He first used these ideas to make guns for the U.S. government. Before his time, one skilled worker made all the parts of a gun by hand and then fitted them together. Whitney used machines to make many copies of each part. He then hired unskilled workers to put the parts together. Whitney’s factory made guns faster and more cheaply than ever before. His ideas changed the way factories made all kinds of products. Whitney died in New Haven, Connecticut, on January 8, 1825.
