Intro to the Early Industrial Revolution
1793-1850

1. How do inventions and technology impact peoples
   lives in positive, negative, and unexpected ways?
2. Why did major aspects of the Industrial
   Revolution begin in the North, as opposed to the
   South?
3. How did life change from people living on a farm,
   when most goods were grown by or made by hand, to
   getting goods from a factory and living in a
   city?
4. How did the Industrial Revolution both strengthen
   and weaken the nation? What conflicts arose as
   Industrial Revolution gained steam?

Industrial Revolution

• Industrial
• Revolution

Industrial Revolution a time of dramatic change
from late 1700s to mid-1800s,
where production transitioned from hand tools and
handmade items
to products which were mass produced by machines,
where goods became more widely available,
and where/how people lived is dramatically
altered.

Where did it start? Why?

• Expanding Empire Economy
• Location!
• Agriculture Revolution
• Stable Economy Government
• Technology Advancements

Key Issue How to Spin cleaned cotton or wool
into thread
Early 18th century
China, 13th century
Early 17th century

• Spinning Wheel -- created in 1200s, largely
  unchanged for centuries

10
Key Invention B Spinning Jennies
What can it do faster? How does capacity change?
11
Key Issue This is all done using what for energy?
12
Key Inventions C Water Power!

• Water Powered Carding Mill
• Water Powered Saw Mill

• Water Powered Jenny

What can these do faster? How does capacity
change?
13
Key Invention D The Water Powered Loom
The next major invention was water powered looms.
They allowed workers spin more thread into cloth
by using water power to spin the looms. These
machines were big, powerful, and expensive as
well.

• Faster
• sped up the time it took to weave cloth
• Capacity
• Weavers actually able to weave all the thread
  produced by the Jennies

14
Why? Transportation Energy!
What resources are valued?
Water!!!

Use of Land/Need for Land
Change the way people make
Changes/Affects How land is used Value of land
based on location/natural resources Desire for
more land as capacity grows
Urbanization
16
Why the North?

• Powerful Rivers (New England)
• Coal and Steel Resources
• (In Pennsylvania)
• for STEAM ENGINES
• Ports for shipping overseas

18
From this.
URBANIZATION. (creation of cities)
To this.
Positive Effects -better transportation (roads,
railroads, steamboats) -greater access to
goods -more work opportunity for men and women

19
Urbanization
(creation of cities)
Negative Effects -Crowded living
conditions -spread of disease -more abuse of
workers -Racism and Sexism -Child Labor

Interchangeable Parts
standard parts of equipment that can be used to
build new tools or machines
Examples
Ex. 1840 Lowell Mill Girls
1800 gun making

23
Labor/Immirgration

• Who is ideal worker?
•  unskilled, cheap,
•  women and young children
• Why Immigrate ?
• 1840s more work, cheaper transportation, more
  economic opportunity
•  Which groups
• Irish Escape Famine
• Germans escape political revolution

24
Rhode Island Mill System Sam Slater

• Read over your section once
• Then go back and underline key parts based on
  your groups question
• Write notes in the margins to help explain the
  answer

25
Group 1 Read paragraph 1 of Role of the Mill
Village -How did the Mill owners recruit
workers? -Where did Mill Workers live? Group 2
Read Paragraph 2,3, 4 of Role of Mill
Village -Describe the typical worker? -Why were
these workers valued? Group 3 Read Paragraph
1-2 Wages and Working Conditions -Describe how
the Mill Owners had power over the
workers -Define Credit System
26

• Group 4
• Read Paragraph 4 and 5 of Wages and Working
  Conditions
• -How did the credit system work?
• -Was the credit system fair? Why or why not?
• Group 5
• Read Paragraph 6 and 7 of Wages and Working
  Conditions
• -How did owners control the day to day lives of
  mill workers
• -Did the mill owners value education? Why or why
  not?

27
The Slater Hustle

• Factory Owners

Company Store

• Mill Workers

28
In order to understand how the Industrial
Revolution really took off in the early 1800s, we
need to start with
RHODE ISLAND, of course! And, a man by the name
of Samuel Slater.
29

• Draw a line across your paper and title Slaters
  First Mill
• Imagine you are Samuel Slater, a young man who
  has traveled from England, with the goal of
  opening the first water-powered mill in the US.
• Youve been apprenticing in England, under
  Richard Archwright, the creator of water-powered
  mill technology
• You want to move to US, build the countrys first
  water-powered textile mill.
• You secretly copy the blueprints for the
  technology, and sew them into your coat and
  travel to the New England in 1791.
• You meet up with some investors and create a plan
  for building the water-powered textile mill.

30

• Take out a new piece of lined paper, and title
  it Slaters First Mill
• Writing in complete sentences, so you know what
  question you are answering
• Where do you put your factory?
• Who works there? How do you encourage them to
  work for you? How do you encourage them to stay?
• How will you watch over the workers to make sure
  they are doing their job correctly?
• How can you make as much money as you can?

31
Clothing Revolution Many inventions that mean
clothes are made in bulk (mass production) in
factories and bought at a store Instead of by
hand

• In this Unitwe will look at the good, the bad,
  the unexpected
• At the end-you will write a paper )
