  1. Progress and Change Comes to Georgia: 1800-1860 • 1.) Invention of the COTTON GIN: • Was invented in 1793 by Eli Whitney while in Savannah (Mulberry Grove Plantation) • He was asked to invent a machine that would speed up the work of removing cotton seeds, and within weeks, a model, was developed that used wire teeth to remove seed • Before invention, 6-7 pounds of seed could be separated a day by hand; after invention, 50 pounds of cotton could have seeds removed from it. • Planters ripped off Whitney’s gin and made copies of it before Whitney could obtain a patent. Therefore, Whitney did not make the fortune he should have from his invention.

  2. Progress and Change Comes to Georgia: 1800-1860 • 1.) Invention of the COTTON GIN: • Whitney's gin revolutionized the southern economy, making the crop profitable to farm. This invention deepened the South’s hunger for slave labor and would place the country on the path to the Civil War (1861-65). • Within only a few years, cotton replaced indigo and rice as the state’s major cash crop. • In 1801, planters produced 48 mil, pds.of cotton as compared with just 2 mil. pounds in 1790. • By the eve of the Civil War, the South's cotton production exceeded a billion pounds annually.
