Was Eli Whitney a christian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

More than likely he was. He prepared to attend Yale by studying under under the tutelage of Rev. Elizur Goodrich of Connecticut. He married Henrietta Edwards, granddaughter of the famed evangelist Jonathan Edwards and cousin of Timothy Dwight, a Congregationalist minister, theologian, author and eight president of Yale college. It is reasonable that he must have been considered Christian in order to get along with his teachers and in-laws.

Elie is reluctant to pray as he marches toward the crematory pit because he has lost faith in God's presence and goodness.

Is gin bad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends. If it's cruddy gin, it's terrible to the taste. Maybe a nice Blue Sapphire or Tanqueray is quite delicious with some sours and a cherry.

Gin, like all liquor, is technically a poison for your body that has to be filtered out by your liver and kidneys. However, enjoyed responsibly, it is no more dangerous than other hard liquors like whiskey, tequila or vodka.

How did the cotton gin lead to the growth of the institution of slavery?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

What grade are you in? (lol)

I studied this... I'm glad to help you!

- The cotton gin affected slavery because after the cotton gin was invented more slave owners wanted slaves in order to be able to organize the cotton. Since this machine worked really fast in the process of taking the seeds off the cotton, the slaves would have to also work faster to get the cotton & organize it without stopping (even if the machine was to fast).

Why did Eli Whitney Cotton gin lead to the spread of slavery into more of the south?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The cotton gin made cotton production more profitable, as long as the slave labor remained. More planters pursued larger profits under the plantation system.

It made the cotton trade so profitable that Southern leaders were strongly motivated to preserve slavery and extend it, if possible.

Growing cotton became more profitable, growers expanded crop acreage, and more slaves were needed to grow the cotton.

What was an unintended negative effect of the cotton gin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am doing an essay on this right now so I would be glad to answer your question.

The positive effects of the "cotton gin" was that it made producing cotton so much easier. Before Eli Whitney invented the "cotton gin", picking the seeds out of the cotton plants were so laborious and time consuming. but now, it was easy and fast, and farmers made much more money.

The negative effects of the "cotton gin" was that it made the need for slaves greatly increase, and the number of slave states shot up. Plantations grew, and work became regimented and relentless (unending).

Hope that helps!

How did the cotton gin have an impact on transportation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cotton bolls are transported by first being compacted into modules with a machine called a module builder. A module is kind of like a bale of cotton, except it weighs 10,000 to 20,000 pounds. Once the module is built, it is loaded onto a flatbed truck and hauled to the cotton gin.

(An update: Since I wrote that, John Deere and IH Case have introduced new cotton pickers that have onboard module builders. The minimodules so produced are round and weigh 5000 pounds. A fully equipped John Deere 7760 cotton picker is nearly $900,000 and you only need it two weeks a year, so many of the guys who have these are contract cotton harvest operators. They like the machine because it dramatically cuts down on the number of workers needed.)

After the bolls are processed into cotton lint, it is compressed into "standard density bales." These can be transported in regular dry vans or railroad boxcars.

When the cotton is spun into yarn, woven into cloth and made into finished goods, it can be transported like any other dry freight is transported.

What impact did the invention of the cotton gin have on other industries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The invention of Eli Whitney's cotton gin affected the South's greatly. Not only did it help the production of cotton be more efficient, it also took up less manual labor. It did not help pick the cotton from the fields, but it did help weave the cotton into a cloth-like substance. In conclusion, the cotton gin helped the South produce cotton faster and took up less need for slaves. I hope this will be helpful.
