Impact of Eli Whitneys invention of the cotton
gin and his development of interchangeable parts
for muskets (guns)

  which made the separation of cotton seeds from
  fiber much faster. The South increased its cotton
  supply sending raw cotton north to be used in the
  manufacture of cloth. Francis C. Lowell increased
  the efficiency in the manufacture of cloth by
  bringing spinning and weaving processes together
  into one factory. This led to the development of
  the textile industry throughout New England.

• The price of tobacco fell in the early 1800s
  which caused many to believe that slavery and the
  plantation based agriculture would soon vanish

  little product.

Eli Whitney came up with the idea to use
interchangeable parts in 1798 to make muskets. If
standard parts were made by machine, then they
could be assembled at the end much more quickly
than before. This became an important part of
American industry and the Second Industrial
Revolution.
