The Cotton Gin
Andrea Brecheen

The cotton gin was one of the most amazing and tragic inventions of early America. The cotton gin is credited to the brilliant and creative American inventor Eli Whitney. Because Whitney's invention made cotton harvesting easier, it allowed farmers in the South to increase production. The cotton gin simplified the process of removing the cotton from the seeds, a process formerly done by hand.

As a result, Southern plantations increased their production of cotton from 750,000 bales in 1830 to 2.85 million bales just 20 years later. Because of the increase in production, the farmers in South became even more dependent on cotton for revenue. This new reliance on cotton increased the need for slavery. More slaves were needed to farm the ever expanding cotton plantations. If Whitney had known the effects his invention would have on slavery, he never would have created it.

Answer 1
The reason why they needed more slaves after the boom of the Cotten gen is because it made it worth having slaves due to the Cotten gen doing most of the work and therefore having more slaves and cotton gens=more cash

Which statement best explains why California developed a diverse population?


a
State laws banning racial discrimination attracted African Americans and Native Americans
b
Many Chinese people migrated there to work on the railroads, acquisition of the Mexican Cession area, and economic opportunities during the Gold Rush
c
Abolitionists moved from the North to vote against slavery

Answers

The answer is B. This is because many Chinese people moved to California in hope to find gold and send it back to their families in China. They started taking over jobs because they worked hard for less money. They worked on the railroad and was able to get it done, however, there was a ban on Chinese immigrants due to them overpopulating the cities and taking everyone’s jobs.

Answer:

B. Many Chinese people migrated there to work on the railroads, acquisition of the Mexican Cession area, and economic opportunities during the Gold Rush.

Explanation:

The popularity of the Gold Rush spread all over the world, especially to China. By 1851, over 25,000 Chinese immigrants left home & moved to California, a land some called gam saan, or "gold mountain." Some immigrants eventually worked on the Transcontinental Railroad, which was finished in 1869.
