I have set up our blog and will post some research I did. I appreciate all feedback.
Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in 1794. The cotton gin made separation of cotton seeds from fiber much faster. This would prove to be an ingenious invention later when the sewing machine was invented. Eli Whitney in 1798 came up with the idea to use interchangeable parts, to make muskrats, which was an important part of the American Industry because it meant that standard parts could be produced more quickly.
In 1846 Elias Howe created the sewing machine which revolutionized the manufacturing of clothing. Where would we be today if we were working our current jobs, enjoying our leisure activities and having to make our own clothing?
