American Cotton

When the developed world (15% of world population) as to cut on hollydays and over consumption there is a crisis when 85% of the world population is dealing with extreme poverty it`s the nature of things?

Most subsaharan African countries are their own worst enemies, or their neighbors' worst enemies. The USA has nothing to do with that, and until these countries start taking responsibility for their own destinies, they will remain basket cases.

One serious problem with Africa is unchecked population growth. That's a problem in other countries, too, and it will be a problem for the whole world as time passes, but it is particularly acute in many parts of Africa. When mortality declines, birth rates must be reduced, too, otherwise the unavoidable result is starvation, destruction of the environment, and war.

How did the introduction of cotton agriculture transform American slavery, both institutionally and geographically?

Well I know that with the cotton gin it made production faster and they needed more slaves to work the gin. I'm not to sure geographically how it helped other than mass production.

i saw this interlock mini skirt that i bout at american apparel today, it was a small n i thought it would fit alright, but the bottom is a bit loose, since it was the last one, i had to buy it, just wondering will it shrink if i put in the laundry? if so, how much?
cuz i want it to shrink a bit, and when it does shrink, does it stay till that size? thanks

The interlock material doesn't shrink as much, but it'll still shrink a bit in the dryer. However, it'll stretch back out as you're wearing it.

what is the cotton gins job?How did the cotton gin change the american revolution?

It's amazing, the wikipedia answers everyone regurgitated on this question explained how it instigated the Civil War. But no one realized two flaws: first the question is about how it changed the American Revolution. Second, the Revolution was fought BEFORE the cotton gin was invented. Now how did this revolutionize America? It sped up the way cotton was produced and enabled increased production of a high-demand good in the world. This strengthened the South's hold on both slavery demands and the national economy. The ultimate problem was, however, that the North relied on the South to produce the goods and the South relied on the North to inport/export most other goods. As the North's growth economically reached Southerns' levels, the demands for the complete abolishment of slavery really heated up across the New England, Upper Midwest and even Western states.
So yeah, the gin did play an important role in the Civil War, but it also played an important role in America's evolution towards a strong economic nation.

Oh, and to the question of what the gin does: cotton plants are filled with painful seeds in the center of the cotton. The gin seperates the seeds and refines the cotton into the fiber it needs to become to be manufactured into many different goods we enjoy today.
