• The Early Industrial Age
• Changes in Rural (Farming) Population
• Devastated by Plague and needed to become more
  efficient
• About 1700 Great Britain began to study farming
  as a science
• Rotated Crops (invented by Charles Townshend)
• Mixed different types of soil, grew different
  types of crops
• Made it easier to produce food (and COTTON)
• More food was available for the masses

• Population almost doubled between 1700-1800
• This increased the demand for textiles (woven or
  knitted cloth used to make clothing, blankets,
  and other goods)

• More efficient ways to produce textiles came
  about and soon textile factories opened up.
• By the 1780s, England and Scotland had over 120
  textile factories
• Their success led merchants of other products to
  develop new machines and create factories to
  increase their profits
