    In the 1600s, Britain used the putting out system, where families would spin and weave the cotton, and skilled artisans would finish it

    Putting out system was to slow, not enough production for increasing population, new inventions would speed it up

    Flying shuttle sped up weaving, spinning jenny spun several threads at once, and the water frame used water to power the process

    1793 - Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin that separated the cotton fibers from the seeds quickly; cotton production increased drastically

    Machines doomed putting out system, moved to factories to produce large quantities of goods
