Different perspective on the Inventions of Eli Whitney. My teacher actually congratulated me on writing from a different view.

…e wanted to credit them because America wanted to look all big and bad for the rest of the world. If Eli Whitney would have just given credit to the German clock makers and the English System of Manufacture, he wouldn't be known as a liar and a cheater. Give due credit where it is deserved. If you want to write about a true pioneer in the revolution of America's industry, write about Henry Ford.
