Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It was invented as a way to increase the production of cotton by speeding up the removal of seeds from the cotton fiber. Although the Cotton Gin did not make Eli Whitney much money, it benefited the South and their economy. The Cotton Gin also increased the arguments between the North and the South.
