The cotton gin is what made slavery profitable. Did you not pay attention in 6th grade??? Why do you feel more kinship to the political elites of the 1700s instead of the working men and women that built this country?
No, it replaced the hardest manual work that had to be done by the slaves before.
Yes I payed attention, didn't even have to look up Eli Whitney or how to spell it.
Everyone always feels more kinship with people they are more closely related to....always.
