In April 1793 Eli Whitney had designed and constructed the Cotton Gin, this invention tremendously changed the cotton industry in the United States. The invention automated the seed seperation process which really speeded it up. However, Eil Whitney failed to profit from his invention because copies of his invention showed up in his 1794 patent but it did not actually get upheld until 1807 so until then there was nothing he could do about people copying, and selling the invention which he invented and was rightfully his.=====

In 1798 Eli Whitney invented Interchangable parts, this was one of the greatest inventions during the Industrial Revolution it was the way of making parts to machines similar to that they could be easily replaced. He first started getting the idea when he had to deliver 10000 to 15000 muskets. And his invention of interchangable parts revolutionized the small-arms industry and came in very handy because are society was also struggling at the time.=====
