Description: Jonah Begone providing an explanation for the term gin, and a short history of the invention and social implications of the cotton gin in pre-Civil War American society.
What's a Cotton "Gin?" What's a Cotton "Gin?" I learned an interesting thing the other day. Every since I've been reading about the American Civil War, which means since I was seventeen, I've read about the importance of Eli Whitney and his cotton gin. But one thing that was never explained in any of the books I read was what a "gin" was. Like most Americans, the only "gin" I've ever heard of is the alcoholic drink.
