A few years later, Whitney invented machines to make muskets that were identical. The first mass-manufacturing business in the country, his musket factory revolutionized the way Americans made things.

True or false? Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, a machine for removing seeds from cotton. False! Eli Whitney was the first person to build a wire-toothed cotton gin. But Eli's gin was not the first machine of its kind. He made nails to earn money when he was a boy. He went to court to protect his wire-toothed cotton gin when others tried to build similar machines. He started his own musket-making business.
