People should switch to this organic fabric because

their cotton crops. I found it interesting that cotton is what helped to populate the state of Arkansas. Today many farmers rely on growing cotton for their income, but it is not as commonly grown as what it was during the 1850s. I believe that the term “cotton culture” means that people developed their own lifestyles around the cotton season, which was the main crop of the south during that time period. Many families depended on the cotton crop to provide income for their necessities. Cotton was

have something for you to stop their yappin while increasing cotton production. Its called “The Cotton Gin” and it was invented by Eli Whitney in 1794 as a faster and more productive way to separate the good cotton from the seeds. This machine can not only increase cotton separation, But it’ll save you tons of money on extra slaves especially the ones that have sensitive hands that get cut easily due the seeds. However even though the cotton gin did help slaves by saving their hands, it also promoted

After visiting the Manchester History Museum, I was greatly inspired by the cotton trade in Manchester, nicknamed by many as Cottonopolis. Many parts of the museum had several visual elements to it that caught my eye. The one that inspired me the most was a cotton spinning machine (video in separate file), therefore this is the stimulus that I have used as part of my creative process. The video of the cotton spinning machine demonstrates many of our ancestors’ history, and inspired me, as it is something

In the fourth chapter Beckert explain the three main looks upon the cotton industry, the first point is the need of slavery in order for production to grow. “The connection between American slavery and British Cotton Manufacturer, there is not, and never has been, and considerable source of supply for cotton, excepting the East-Indies, which is not obviously and exclusively maintained by slave-labor” (Beckert, 84). At first they tried to produce on the account of free labor but it failed and started

The cotton gin One day I had met this man named Eli whitney. That same day he told me that his parents does farming for a living." Yeah, I remember that", there was a lot of grass, cows, and other items , are house was very country but it brought back child hood memories ,he told Phineas. I am became friends with eli and his wife in 1792. We went to a plantition and we learned from the farmers that seperating cotton seeds from cotton fiber was diffuclty. They told us all about it and we thought

selling of dolphin meat, fair trade of coffee, cotton and sugar. Another component to ethical consumption is, the social, economic and environmental outcomes (Cole and Brown 2015: 52). In order for social change, the change has to start with the core principles of asking the question, will it benefit socially, economically and environmentally? First, the cotton industry and cotton farmers are an example of fair trade for ethical consumption. Cotton is the world’s oldest commercial crop and one of

Invention of the Eli Whitney Cotton Gin (1793) The cotton gin is one of the pioneering technological developments in American history. Although slavery was widespread during the colonial period, the American slavery was unique in many aspects. On logical grounds, it appears fair to argue that America boasts of a rich history because of the technological developments in methods of farming such as the cotton gin. Therefore, a deeper knowledge of the cotton gin invention can shape the understanding

little I was taught about the cotton gin. Something I learned while watching the video provided was that the need for slaves became greater after the cotton gin was created. It only makes since, if the cotton was being cleaned as fast as it would equal to one hundred people, you would need more hands on deck to handle the freshly pulled, and clean cotton. To hear the impact that the cotton gin had on slavery truly shocked me. While at first it wasn't clear to me why the cotton gin would have had an impact

the Cotton Gin ! ! ! Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin around 1763. At the time he invented the engine Whitney lived with Catherine Greene, a widowed plantation owner. While staying with Greene, Whitney learned a lot about the production of cotton. He learned it was a tedious, time consuming and labor intensive job. Whitney was a graduate of Yale and was talented in the field of mechanics and inventive engineering. Eli’s solution was simple, an engine that separated the cotton after
