Robert Fulton, the inventor of the first steamboat, was his friend. ELI WHITNEY. 76 They had many troubles in common. Mr. Whitney's last days were his happiest days. Such patience, perseverance, and skill must count in the long run. His factory made him quite a rich man. Some of the southern states showed their gratitude. In i8 1 7, Mr. Whitney married Miss Edwards of Connecticut. He had a son and three daughters. The people of New Haven respected him. They gave him great honor. He died on Janu...ary 8, 1825. The little cotton-gin had done a great work. The sunny South was covered with beauti- ful plantations. The cotton fields shone in the sunlight. ELI WHITNEY. 77 Riches were beginning to fill the pockets of the planters. Only one blight remained upon the land. This was the dreadful system of slavery. And that, too, has been destroyed. W[e wish that Mr. Whitney might see the South of to-day. He did not live to know how great a curse slavery might be. He did not foresee that his cotton-gin might help to cause a great war.
