The Incredible Cotton Gin!

This thing is just plain incredible. Praise Eli Whitney and his brilliant mind! I don't think that without this new invention, there would be any way to get me out of this slump I've been in. Since I am a bit short on slaves, the amount of work i have gotten from them is less than the neighboring farms, and people don't buy as much from me. But now that I have this, I have the edge on everyone else! No more will people look down on my family for being less productive than everyone else, now that i have this! I bet I can even start to afford more and more slaves, which will just send production through the roof.

Not only that, but I think this is just what we need to get the South out of the bad times that have been happening. By trading with Britain, we can start paying for the war debts, and other debts that we as a nation have accumulated. With this, we can produce cotton 10.. no 5o fold at the least! Britain and other nations will beat a path to our doorstep looking for the cotton that we can produce! This is definitely the miracle that me and the rest of the South have been looking forward to for a long long time. Without a doubt, this will be the greatest invention of the century, and Eli Whitney will go down as one of the greatest minds ever!
