Did the cotton gin pick cotton ?
And how do you know?

A cotton gin – meaning "cotton engine" – is a machine that quickly and easily separates cotton fibers from their seeds, enabling much greater productivity than manual cotton separation.

Explanation:

So, I know this because the slaves would pick the cotton, then they would take the cotton plant and they would put it in the cotton gin, which would seperate the seeds from the actually cotton fiber.

I hope this helps, and thanks! God bless! BRAINLIEST PLEASE

No.

Explanation:

No. It did not pick the cotton, instead it just separated seeds and fibers. It didn't reduce the need for slave labor, or picking by hand.
