Steam Rooms As The Factory System Grew in the North Steam Power replaced Water Power as a the main source of factory energy Steam Power allowed factories to be built away from water and closer to cities and workers and increased the amount of factories and jobs As factories grew machines improved and produced interchangeable parts in LARGE Quantities These changes led to the advance of CUSTOMIZED Equipment to make certain Goods

Down on the Farm As the Industrial Revolution advanced farm equipment would be improved and mass produced John Deere invented a STEEL plow which could cut through harder soil easier Cyrus McCormick invented a Mechanical Reaper to Make Harvesting Easier improving Farm Production McCormick also advertised his product, gave demonstrations, provided repairs and spare parts and sold Machines on Credit With the Inventions of Deere and McCormick Farm Production topped 170 Million Bushels of Wheat and 800 Million Bushels of Corn

Convenient Stores As the Industrial Revolution Spread so did inventions to make Life Easier Elias Howe invented a Sewing machine and Isaac Singer would improve it and popularize it in America Ice Boxes were invented in the 1830’s to keep food fresher longer and Iron cook stoves replaced the cook fires and stone Hearths to Cook food Other earlier inventions would become Mass Produced and Cheaper including Clocks, Matches, and the Safety Pin

Cotton Gin Rummy As the SOUTH began to Mass Produce Cotton Eli Whitney would Invent the Cotton Gin to easily remove seeds from cotton by using a hand crank As the Cotton Gin became mass produces the Cotton Industry Spread Across the United States pushing Native Americans Further West Cotton Production increased from 2 million pounds in 1791 to almost a BILLION pounds by the 1860s With Cotton becoming MORE profitable Plantation Owners in the south increased the amount of slaves on their plantations to increase production
