There was some major controversy about the creation of the cotton gin.
many people wondered who actually designed the cotton gin . It was believed that the plantation owner designed the cotton gin and Eli Whitney a tutor at the time was asked to build the machine. could he have possible created the machine or could he just be replicating someone else dream. his cotton gin didn't bring much profit because many southern famers were able to create the cotton gin them selves. it is said though that Whitney didn't want profit for his invention but for the southern economy to be boosted sky high in the air.
