Which of the following men invented the cotton gin?

The cotton gin quickly and easily separated cotton fibers from their seeds, and in the late 1700s, the American South had a lot of cotton to pick. The ease of the cotton gin, invented in 1793, was so economically useful, that plantation owners expanded and the invention is credited with inadvertently speeding up the growth of slavery.
