Talk:Cotton gin - Knowledge

1749:

important. It seems well-written and definitely organized into appropriate sections and describes each section well. The sources seem complete and authoritative, especially the source used by a historical society, or museum, something to that effect which is definitely legitimate. Most other sources seem to be articles with research from university presses which contribute to majority in research all over the nation. Even the illustrations look to be like legitimate and appropriate pictures for the article. They clearly show different forms of the cotton gin, from the original version to modern ones used on farms. One illustration in particular has captions to explain each step in the process of use for the modern cotton gin. I found the pictures to be very helpful in showing exactly how the gin works. The subject seems to be covered thoroughly by having sections with the origin, who invented it, how the gin changed society, and the basis of its design. There is even mention of a controversy about Eli Whitney inventing the cotton gin from the beginning. However, there is not enough evidence so it is only briefly mentioned. The subject is covered of its main points that are important and need to be known. The article has not been marred with frivolous or random contributions. All edits seem to be legitimate of changing information. There was one incident of vandalism but seemed to be fixed quickly, along with other edits for the page. Compared to an encyclopedia, Knowledge is far from it. An encyclopedia definitely has more precise and quantity of information, maybe too much information it seems sometimes. Knowledge is better in that it allows the most important information to be known with more pictures and not a lot of extra information that isn't really necessary. The only improvement I would suggest is the section on Whitney's design. There isn't a lot of information in that section and seems kind of random and pointless, almost like it has no purpose. I would either add information to make it seem useful or delete the section and put that information somewhere else.

slaves, which required large amounts of capital. With the cotton gin, for every one slave removing the seeds with the gin, now there could be 10 working in the field. This drastically changed things. Now, plantation owners no longer had to use large amounts of capital on the purchase and upkeep of slaves. This meant many many more (white) people could run a plantation with fewer slaves; running a plantation was now within the reach of the "common" (southern white) man, something that before the cotton gin, such people could only fantasize about. So, slave demand goes up. Later, the government (most likely lobbied by the very rich large plantation owners who were losing all of their business) imposed tariffs on owning slaves, which once again would remove the affordability of owning a plantation from everyone except extremely wealthy people. However, these new "common" plantation owners weren't going to give up their bounty without a fight. They refused to pay the tariffs, and the American civil war was born. --

slave traders who constantly scoured every nook and cranny of the old slave areas. The African American families and communities, as they were under slavery in the old slave states, provided much healthier and more productive individuals than the degraded individuals in the new states, while the process itself tore apart these communities. This migration greatly increased the value of slaves and commitment to sustaining slavery in not only the old states but in the north generally. The wealth from the trade transformed the economies of states such as Virginia, where it was reinvested into non-slave activities (such as coal production firing the expansion of railroads and industry) as well being poured into financial and speculative markets throughout the whole north, basically underwriting and shaping the growth of capitalism in the United States and Great Britain.

roller and a non-moving surface, that was too narrow for the seeds to pass through. The second paragraph of the 'Eli Whitney's patent' section gives a decent explanation of how that gin worked. The 'McCarthy's gin' section states that the lint was detached from the seed by a reciprocating (later, rotating) knife. The description of how the roller and McCarthy's gins operated certainly should be expanded, citing reliable sources. It has been more than 4 years since I added the McCarthy's gin section, so I don't remember if those sources went into much detail about how it worked. Unfortunately, I do not feel that I have the time right now to research this. -

1442:"The first account of Hugo Krebs' cotton gin was written in 1772 by Bernard Romans, an English traveler, botanist and promoter whose duty it was to find commercial opportunities in British West Florida and report them to the home government. His report on his findings in this southern region tells of a visit to the Pascagoulas in 1772 where he finds Krebs' efficient gin and describes it in his report to English interests. Krebs was suspicious of the British and avoided any publicity. He disassembled his gin to prevent copying of his design, and never patented it, which was compared in later years to Eli Whitney's gin that was not invented until 1792." 2054: 1304:

modules. It appears that the key separation step may be at the lower left module, but I really have no idea. For all but the modern plant, where is the unprocessed cotton put in? Where does the cleaned fiber emerge? Where do the seeds come out? What are the important differences between the Whitney gin and the many machines that are mentioned dating back 2000 yr to the first century CE? Surely we can do better than this! I suppose engineers with expertise in the modern and historical and technical details may now be in short supply, but we should put out an all-points "

reader of the topic without putting too much unnecessary information. It also goes into detail about how the invention and modernization of the cotton gin changed the history of the United States, though it does not go into detail with other nations. This would be one drawback of the article. Some further information on how this invention changed the economic situation of other countries or areas would be useful. The article does detail how the cotton gin has been improved and modernized, which is valuable information.

1159:. The Noah Homes part of the story is a little more tricky. Because it was a part of this article for so long, it is impossible to discern whether all of the other online references to this name in this context were sourced here or if they were sourced independently. Perhaps Noah Homes is supposed to be Hodgen Holmes? I can't find anything about patent office records for Noah Homes. I'll try to look around some more but some of this might need to be scrubbed for lack of sources. -- 190: 363: 472: 447: 342: 1429:

1772 the English captain Roman found at the German farmer, Krebs, cotton and a roller cotton gin invented by Krebs, certainly the first cotton gin in America. In the same year there was the description of a great storm that, “among Krebs and the Germans it has stormed terribly”. Hugo Ernestes Krebs came from Neumagen on the Mosel. He left behind 14 grown children whose descendants still own the old “Krebs-Farm” in East Pascagoula today (1909).

300: 237: 373: 2095: 2011: 1833: 917:"Eli Whitney had always enjoyed tinkering, and here was a challenge. Could he make a gadget that would quickly separate the seeds from the cotton? Yes, he could. The cotton gin that he invented was snapped up by the cotton planters. Within a few years it meant that a great many more acres of cotton were planted. Instead of needing fewer slaves, the plantations now needed many more to plant and pick all this cotton." 1877: 1542: 865:

cotton created demand for more labor to harvest the cotton. The truth is that the US cotton market was very small before the invention of the cotton gin. Slavery was on the decline and the surge in the cotton market caused the rebirth of the slave trade. Also of note is that ginning was seldom a "one man at the crank" operation. Most large operations were water or horse powered. --

appropriate or helpful. I disagreed with "99.200.214.57" that their contribution about Hugo Krebs was relevant, because there's a never-ending supply of people who claim they have information about the "REAL" inventor of the cotton gin. But the author of that section is entitled to their say, and doesn't deserve to have their contribution vandalized by someone who disagrees with it.

2135:

I have removed the sentence entirely. It is unsupported by citations and not mentioned in the body of the article. The body of the article indicates that the amount of cotton produced increased linearly with the number of slaves in the South, which undercuts the argument that the cotton gin increased

1272:

Yeah, more information as to sourcing and less pov as to opinions one way or another are in order. That section in particular seems forum or blog like and does not source anything. Also eventually technology freed the slaves not opinions about morality or ethics. Machines never complain or try to run

1253:

The article seems to be quite broken at the moment with other value judgements such as "Many negative effects occurred from the creation of the cotton gin". Objectively, only effects occurred, the article should simply state them. However the effects stated are unverified anyway so perhaps this point

While many would feel the expansion of slavery is unfortunate, I don't think declaring that this is so (that the spread was unfortunate) is an opinion that should be advanced in this article as truth. If someone wants to find what surely are numerous examples of notable people claiming that such was

It now reads: The cotton gin may have been one of the causes of the American Civil War. President Lincoln was famously quoted as saying "how could such a simple invention alter American history in such a king sized way?" when commenting on the effect that the cotton industry had on the United States.

I must clarify what I see as a misunderstanding in your question. The cotton gin made efficiently cleaning the cotton easier. It had nothing to do with harvesting it. Harvesting was still labor intensive and once growers could clean the cotton efficiently and send it to market, the demand for more

1902:

This article covers the cotton gin, the reasoning behind its creation, the actual creation, and then its uses through time. It is decently well written, and gives much detail in the various areas. The language used makes it simple to understand the process used. While there is not too much detail

1303:

Despite the words, photos, and figures, I have almost no idea how the thing actually works. I have examined the (faint and poorly labeled) reproduction of Whitney's patent, the museum photo, and the absurd image of a "modern" gin, with its computer screen, moisture sensors, cameras, and inscrutable

I was also taught in school that the cotton gin was a contributing factor in ~ending~ slavery by making cotton processing require less work (as indeed the industrial revolution overall moved things away from laborious farming toward factory work). I think this needs to be addressed in the article at

It gave access to the operation of a plantation to a much larger group of people. Before the cotton gin, only very rich people could operate a plantation. For every one slave in the field, there would need to be ten picking out the seeds. This meant plantation owners had to purchase large numbers of

Within the labor process, the cotton gin greatly increased the rate of work (partially answering a question asked in another posting here). The cotton gin itself speeded up the production line, so to speak, leading to a vast increase in the productivity of slaves in other stages of production, such

The word Gin, like nearly every word in the English language, has more than one meaning. In reference to a cotton gin, it mean an engine, or machine. Gin the liquor is named as such because it is derived from juniper berries, which are called genevre in some languages, and that has transformed into

Would be good to add a qualification to the connection between the cotton gin and the cotton boom in the American South. Often the cotton gin is said to be the reason for the cotton boom, but there were many other factors, like new cotton hybrids that were easier to pick. The cotton gin increased

I have not yet removed the template stating that "This section needs additional citations for verification," though, because I don't know if I have satisfied the

I'm not sure what is verifiable in that article. I searched for "cotton gin pullthrough", but found "pullthrough" used with "cotton gin" only in Knowledge and clones. I did find descriptions of hooks or saw teeth "pulling cotton" through screens. Unless and until someone provides a reliable source

2173:

There appear to be at least three different ways in which cotton gins separate seeds from lint. The 'Early cotton gins' section hints ("A narrow single roller was necessary to expel the seeds from the cotton without crushing the seeds.") that the lint was pulled through a gap between rollers, or a

I believe that this article could be improved by adding more detail on how the cotton gin affected the South, and the connection between the South, and slaves. I researched this topic already, and I would be happy to research it some more and add this information. I also can add information on the

In January 1721, 300 colonists arrived at the concession (charter) of Madame Chaumont in Pascagoula. Here an enterprise had been found from an earlier time probably built on the ruins of the Chaumont concession or possibly based on a German colony established by its own concession (charter). In

I went back into the article and cited the single source I used when I wrote the original three paragraphs (at the end of the third paragraph). This is only the second citation I've done and it's possible I did something wrong with it. Feel free to point out any mistakes I may have made. Again,

The article here talks about growth of slavery in the South and seems to limit its impacts to the South. But this growth was done by a great forced migration of slaves from the old slave states to New Orleans and the new slave states, which fairly quickly was undertaken by a specialized group of

There have been a dizzying number of claims for the invention of the cotton gin. You could probably easily write a book listing them all...perhaps more than one book. I think that the article currently covers the subject adequately by stating that Whitney received the patent although there are

1327:

I strenuously second this request!! I came away from this article with little understanding of how *any* of the sundry incarnations of cotton gins actually work. Telling me that it consists of a roller and a flat stone tells me *nothing* about what the roller and stone (and the human) actually

1115:

The answer to both your questions is that since cleaning the cotton was easier, it allowed plantation owners to plant more crops, needing more slaves to pick and tend them. In turn, the larger amount of slaves led to increased tension between the North and the South, in turn leading to the Civil

The plant stalk itself is not thorny. When cotton is picked by hand, the locks are removed from from the sharp, pointed hull that surround the locks of cotton. Cotton develops inside of a protective casing that opens up as the cotton matures. The segemented casing looks a little like a small,

The text you're referring to shouldn't have been inserted under the heading "Unclear how it actually works." I gave it its own section and heading. I also deleted the title that read "shitty crap" or whatever the wording was; I didn't think that retitling someone else's work that way was either

It certainly would be of value to have drawings of how ALL of the early inventions operated. Showing a few slaves leaning over a small box tells us nothing. There is obviously a progression of these devices from manpower to horsepower, to steam power....with concomitant increases in size and

A distinction needs to be made between workers and slaves. To say that when a plantation grows it needs more slaves unwittingly implies that it was impossible to satisfy labour needs by other means. If a plantation grows, it needs more workers. How to provide those workers is a separate issue,

Welcome to Knowledge. Editors who have vested interests in pages don't listen to the little people i.e. unregistered IP addresses. Yeah it is stupid, and a fair comment. How Whitney's design worked!! LOL, using the same logic, why not use a modern Ferrari engine to illustrate how Benz's first

1137:

I have trouble with such a tenuous weak "stairstep-causal" relationship between the machine that scrubbed and cleaned cotton and the (direct) causes of the Civil War. I see the rationale, I just don't think there is a causal relationship. Too many other factors in the slow march to that war.

Illustration wise there is something to be desired. The article does have an image of the original patent for the cotton gin, and one example of a modern cotton gin plant, but a simple illustration of the parts and how they fit together would go a lot further in explaining the concept.

In the last paragraph of the "Modern Cotton Gins" section, there is a description of passing cotton through ribs, where the seeds are too "small" to pass through. I believe what was intended was that they are too "large" to pass through.
