More Details for George Washington Carver:
Description:
George Washington Carver saved the South from an economic crisis and possible famine by inventing more than three hundred uses for the peanut, over one hundred uses from the sweet potato, around 75 uses from the pecan and many more from Georgia clay. The new products from those soil-enriching plants allowed Carver to convince Southern farmers to rotate their crops instead of relying entirely on cotton--which was destroying soil and consequently plantations across the region. kontamtv
