Its efficiency put him miles ahead in a race he had no intention of ever running. With the money made off of the inventions he’d sold, he bought a cotton field and hired a few hands. Before that years end, he had already surpassed his competition in output and was slowly stealing all of their customers. Soon he bought their fields, and the entire cotton industry was in his name. These take overs were not hostile, a Cornelius did not fire or stop paying any employees rather, incorporated it into his already growing empire expediting its process by incorporating his cotton gin, and taking what few customers were not already his. If it weren’t for his social ignorance, and incapability of being able to see he’s being used at times, he would a much richer man than he already is. His income is heavily weighed down by the number employees under payroll. His invention ha made him the literal king of cotton, killing any and all competition.

Silkworms are extremely rare and are nearly impossible to breed, but her father perfected the process, passing his hobby onto his daughter. The various uses for silk became clear, and her father began to see gold rather than life, and began to look for ways to expedite the process.
