š ON THIS DAY IN CT HISTORY: ELI WHITNEY & THE INVENTION THAT CHANGED AMERICA
On March 14, 1794, Connecticut inventor Eli Whitney patented the cotton gin, a revolutionary device that transformed cotton production in the South.
While Whitney expected his invention to reduce the demand for enslaved labor, it had the opposite effect, making cotton plantations wildly profitable and accelerating the expansion of slavery.
Despite struggling to profit from the cotton gin due to patent infringements, Whitney went on to revolutionize firearms manufacturing with interchangeable parts, a system that would define modern mass production.
His legacy remains one of ingenuity, industry, and unintended consequences, shaping both Connecticutās manufacturing sector and American history as a whole.
