The creation of this equipment was done by Eli Whitney and funded by Catherine Greene. Similar to the birth of other creations, the cotton gin research and construction was driven by an increasing need in America. Specifically, given the complications in tobacco sales and manufacture, Catherine Greene hired Eli Whitney to help American farmers in assisting the cotton industry. With this comes the invention of the cotton gin that allowed for the faster separation of seeds from short-staple cotton (Schur, n.d.). The cotton gin was operated through spinning a handle that automates a rotating cylinder with spikes, which pulls the cotton fibers into the small openings. The seeds were then collected into a box above while the cotton fibers where amassed by rotating brushes just beside the cylinder. As a result of this innovation, farmers and laborers no longer need to allocate numerous hours for the manual separation of seeds. Indeed, cotton gin enabled for the manufacture of fifty pounds of cotton per day (Bellis, …show more content…
For example, in the mid-18th century-mid-19th century or Tokugawa period in Japan, the Japanese authorities prohibited the reception of western concepts and ideas (Victoria and Albert Museum, n.d.).

Thus, our country was not in par or did not profited from the agricultural advances of the Western societies. As knowledge and freedom was suppressed, the Spanish regime exploited our natural resources and demanded extensive labor work from our ancestors to build various infrastructures and cultivate crops for trade. In particular, Corpuz (1992) stated that during the 1750s, farming was performed using Carabao and ploughs especially in Luzon. The Spanish did not introduce new farming techniques or new agricultural equipment. Improvement in agricultural output was associated with population
