So then what was the impetus for the creation of the cotton gin?

Down, Y. E.
Those of us with a clue in the class have been casting doubt about the veracity of his historical statements before and after class.
His Econ is fine, his history is a bit shakey, his practicum sucks.
Don't get me started about him and horse drawn agriculture.

Oy. And this one's such a simple thing to fix, too:
"Without the cotton gin, it just wasn't feasible to have industrial-scale cotton cultivation or production."
