How did Eli Whitney make the civil war more likely and give the union an advantage once the war began?
His invention of the cotton-gin turned ordinary planters into a new aristocracy that discouraged their sons from going into industry or commerce, while meantime the North was developing new manufacturing technology.
When the war came, the North was able to manufacture all manner of war supplies, while the South had to try to import them, against the successful US Naval blockade.
