Although there were increasingly fewer slaves in the North as northern states outlawed slavery, cotton shipments overseas made northern merchants rich. Northern bankers financed the purchase of land for plantations

history of cotton cultivation and production to cottons part in society now. Tyler Riviere 4 April, 2016 The evolutionary history of cotton played an important role in the heritage of the British Empire, the United States(U.S.), and India. Cotton continues to be an important crop and commodity throughout society. The history of Cotton is one of the most important factors to our society currently. Cotton cultivation dates back over 7,000 years, seeds of cotton are found all over the world. Cotton is hugely

the increased production of cotton from 1800s to the 1860s was different resources, demand, and advanced technology. To begin with, natural, human, and capital resources played a huge role in the growth of cotton production. Land was a very essential natural resource to cotton farmers. With fertile land, farmers could grow their big business, cotton. Also, because of land, the number of cotton farms in America began to increase greatly. For instance, in Texas, cotton farms grew an astounding 251

Industrial Revolution in cotton (to be referred to as the “Industrial Revolution”) was made possible through the combination of Amerindians, New World cotton, and anthropogenic evolution. Russel discusses that anthropogenic evolution facilitated the Industrial Revolution by enhancing the suitability of cotton fiber for mechanization. Amerindians working in the New World were the force that developed the suitable fiber. He also discussed that New World cotton was superior to Old World cotton due to differences

The cotton plant belongs to the genus Gossypium of the family Malvaceae (mallow family); the same family as hollyhock, okra and hibiscus.

The fibers flatten and twist naturally as they dry. There are different species of Cotton - Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium barbadense, Gossypium herbaceum and Gossypium arboreum, the

The cotton gin and the assembly line may seem at first glance like they are not that important but their lasting effects explain why things like manufacturing operate the way they do today. The cotton gin is a simple box. It has gears and a screen that with a crank on it that, when turned, is used to separate the cotton seeds from the cotton. The assembly line involves a pathway where a car or other item moves from station to station. A specially trained worker at each station will work on one specific

The mechanization of the cotton industry in both Japan and India exploited factory workers by paying them very low wages. The production of cotton drastically increased in both Japan and India. However, the majority of workers in India were men while the majority of workers in Japan were women. The mechanization of the cotton industry in both Japan and India can but be understood in the context of Industrialization in the West. Industrialization in the United States led to technological innovations

and the Cotton Gin Eli Whitney : Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin and a pioneer in the mass production of cotton. Whitney was born in Westboro , Massachusetts., on Dec. 8, 1765, and died on Jan. 8, 1825. He graduated from Yale College in 1792. By April 1793, Whitney had designed and constructed the cotton gin, a machine that automated the separation of cottonseed from the short-staple cotton fiber. Eli Whitney's machine could produce up to 23 kg (50 lb) of cleaned cotton daily
