Book Synopsis Who Really Invented the Cotton Gin? by : Wesley Buchele
Download or read book Who Really Invented the Cotton Gin? written by Wesley Buchele and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Revolutionary War, Americans quickly began to establish their own industries, eager to move on from the embargos placed on them during British rule. One agricultural industry that flourished was the growing and ginning of cotton, its success largely coming from the invention of the cotton gin. Most Americans believe that Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. Southern folklore tells a different story-that a young blacksmith from South Carolina, Henry Ogden Holmes, patented the first practical cotton gin. It was a continuous-flow rip-saw-toothed gin, much more efficient than Whitney's first gin. Who Really Invented the Cotton Gin? delves into the history and folklore surrounding the first cotton gins. Iowa State University Professor Emeritus Wesley F. Buchele, who taught farm machinery design for forty-three years, and William D. Mayfield, a longtime expert in cotton ginning technology, use their technical and investigative expertise to share what made Holmes' and Whitney's gins different, who came up with what design first and patented it, and who really did invent the first practical cotton gin. This book is a fascinating look at the history behind one of agriculture's most significant innovations.

It is a fascinating account for younger listeners.

Book Synopsis Cotton and Race in the Making of America by : Gene Dattel
Download or read book Cotton and Race in the Making of America written by Gene Dattel and published by Government Institutes. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the earliest days of colonial America, the relationship between cotton and the African-American experience has been central to the history of the republic. America's most serious social tragedy, slavery and its legacy, spread only where cotton could be grown. Both before and after the Civil War, blacks were assigned to the cotton fields while a pervasive racial animosity and fear of a black migratory invasion caused white Northerners to contain blacks in the South. Gene Dattel's pioneering study explores the historical roots of these most central social issues. In telling detail Mr. Dattel shows why the vastly underappreciated story of cotton is a key to understanding America's rise to economic power. When cotton production exploded to satiate the nineteenth-century textile industry's enormous appetite, it became the first truly complex global business and thereby a major driving force in U.S. territorial expansion and sectional economic integration. It propelled New York City to commercial preeminence and fostered independent trade between Europe and the United States, providing export capital for the new nation to gain its financial "sea legs" in the world economy. Without slave-produced cotton, the South could never have initiated the Civil War, America's bloodiest conflict at home. Mr. Dattel's skillful historical analysis identifies the commercial forces that cotton unleashed and the pervasive nature of racial antipathy it produced. This is a story that has never been told in quite the same way before, related here with the authority of a historian with a profound knowledge of the history of international finance. With 23 black-and-white illustrations.
Book Synopsis Ginning Cotton by : Arvel Loyd Vandergriff
Download or read book Ginning Cotton written by Arvel Loyd Vandergriff and published by Texas Tech University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His first job was in a cotton gin at the age of nine. Today as an octogenarian, A. L. Vandergriff continues his life-long commitment to advancing the technology of the industry he loves. Considered by some to be the seminal figure in designing gin plants to handle machine-picked cotton, Vandergriff is widely known for his many important contributions to the cotton ginning industry. All contemporary high-capacity gin plants have been influenced by his innovative designs. Vandergriff describes in detail the various modifications that he has made to improve different components of the gin stand. He also discusses some of the contributions made by others either independently or as modifications of his research. The current phase of his research culminated with the development of the 198 saw gin, the first twenty-bale-per-hour gin stand.

Book Synopsis The Half Has Never Been Told by : Edward E Baptist
Download or read book The Half Has Never Been Told written by Edward E Baptist and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking history demonstrating that America's economic supremacy was built on the backs of enslaved people Winner of the 2015 Avery O. Craven Prize from the Organization of American Historians Winner of the 2015 Sidney Hillman Prize Americans tend to cast slavery as a pre-modern institution -- the nation's original sin, perhaps, but isolated in time and divorced from America's later success. But to do so robs the millions who suffered in bondage of their full legacy. As historian Edward E. Baptist reveals in The Half Has Never Been Told, the expansion of slavery in the first eight decades after American independence drove the evolution and modernization of the United States. In the span of a single lifetime, the South grew from a narrow coastal strip of worn-out tobacco plantations to a continental cotton empire, and the United States grew into a modern, industrial, and capitalist economy. Told through the intimate testimonies of survivors of slavery, plantation records, newspapers, as well as the words of politicians and entrepreneurs, The Half Has Never Been Told offers a radical new interpretation of American history.
