James's invention helped speed up the process of spinning cotton. Most factories had Spinning Jennies after time. I think this divided the country because some people really liked the invention, but other people thought it could put them out of business. ]]> 2020-05-18 15:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/locicero8897/6dnnxhjzf0hplkfq/wish/580202703 locicero8897 https://padlet.com/locicero8897/6dnnxhjzf0hplkfq/wish/580211926 The Cotton Gin was invented in 1781 by Eli Whitney. This invention made cotton more useful. It helped the Southerners make more money because cotton didn't grow as well in the North. I think this divided the country because the invention only benefited the South and helped them make more money than the North. ]]> 2020-05-18 15:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/locicero8897/6dnnxhjzf0hplkfq/wish/580211926 locicero8897 https://padlet.com/locicero8897/6dnnxhjzf0hplkfq/wish/580215615 Factories were invented in 1789 by Samuel Slater.

Texas and Santa Anna had multiple fights and after a while, Santa Anna let them be independent. Texas didn't do too well being independent, so Texas was made the 28th state of the US. I think this event united the US because Texas became a part of the US. ]]> 2020-05-18 15:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/locicero8897/6dnnxhjzf0hplkfq/wish/580283089 locicero8897 https://padlet.com/locicero8897/6dnnxhjzf0hplkfq/wish/580288078 The California Gold Rush started in 1848. People started finding gold rivers in California. Many people started traveling to California to go and try to find gold. When people got there, it wasn't what they were expecting. It was very difficult to find gold and most people didn't even get any. I think this divided the country because most people became poor and lost a lot of money. ]]> 2020-05-18 15:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/locicero8897/6dnnxhjzf0hplkfq/wish/580288078
