Further Explanations:

1) Cotton gins are the machines that quickly separate the cotton strand from its seeds thus enabling higher productivity. The processed fiber is then used to make various cotton goods like linens and textiles, while the separated seeds were used to plant more cotton saplings for oilseeds production. The modern mechanical gin was invented in 1793 by an American innovator Eli Whitney. He patented it in 1794. It restructured the cotton industries of the United States and in the same instance increased slavery in South America. Demand for cotton labor increased promptly.

2) William Lloyd Garrison was an American journalist, abolitionist and social reformer. He is well known for his abolitionist newspaper “The Liberator” launched in collaboration with Isaac Knapp in 1831. He published it until the termination of slavery by constitutional alteration in 1865. “American Slavery Society“was established by him.
