What is the difference between an inventor and an innovator? This is one of the things you will discover by learning more about a few of the significant innovators in America during the late 19th century. Innovation is more than creating a new gadget. In fact, some of the great inventors where also great innovators. For example, you know that Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. Would it surprise you to know that a more lasting innovation of his was the establishment of the practice of using interchangeable parts in manufacturing?
