:The most important invention of the 1790s was made by Eli Whitney in 1793. He built a machine called the cotton gin which mechanically separated cotton from its thorny branch and seeds. This machine could do the work of fifty men and the South's cotton production was monumentally greater than before. This made the South an economic force to be reckoned with, and made the South believe itself to be invincible by the time the Civil War rolled around.  (Katie B.)
