So picking cotton is hard. Well, you don't really know it until you experience it.

Someone makes a way to get the seeds out faster and easier. That's a good thing right? So now you can grow more cotton which means you need more people to work the land. In the 1800's in the south, that meant slaves.

Do you think the inventor of the cotton gin is glad he created it?
