How did new inventions change manufacturing and farming in the North? Industry in the North Chapter 14, Section 1 How did new inventions change manufacturing and farming in the North? What difficulties did the first railroads face? How did railroads and clipper ships help the northern economy?

New Inventions Changed Manufacturing and Farming Chapter 14, Section 1 Invention Sewing machine Inventor Elias Howe, improved by Isaac Singer Improvement Clothing could be manufactured by machine much more rapidly than it could be made by hand. Iron Plow Steel Plow Jethro Wood John Deere The older, heavy wood and iron plows had to be pulled by slow-moving oxen. A horse could pull a lighter-weight steel plow faster. Mechanical Reaper Cyrus McCormick A horse-drawn reaper could mow wheat and other grains five times as fast as farmhands using hand tools. Mechanical Drill, Threshing Machine, Horse-Drawn Hay Rake All these improvements helped farmers raise more grain with fewer farmhands.

New Inventions Changed Manufacturing and Farming Chapter 14, Section 1 Invention Telegraph Inventor Samuel F. B. Morse Improvement The “talking wire,” or telegraph, was a device that sent electrical signals along a wire. For the first time, news could travel long distances in a few minutes. steam-powered locomotive engine an English family Railroad cars had been pulled by horses or mules. The steam-powered locomotive, or engine to pull railroad cars, could do 30 miles per hour.

The Trouble With Railroads Chapter 14, Section 1 Early problems Workers who moved freight on horse-drawn wagons feared losing their jobs. Investors in canals worried that competition from the railroads would cause them to lose their investments. Soft roadbeds and weak bridges often led to railroad accidents. Locomotives often broke down.

Trouble with Railroads (cont.) The smokestacks belched thick smoke and hot embers. The embers sometimes burned clothing. Where there was only one track instead of one in each direction, trains collided. Gradually, many of these problems were solved and by the 1850s, railroads crisscrossed the nation.

Railroads in 1850 Chapter 14, Section 1

Chapter 14, Section 1 Railroads in 1850

Americans sold cotton, fur, wheat, lumber, and tobacco overseas. Clipper Ship A new kind of ship, the clipper ship, increased commerce between the United States and other nations. Americans sold cotton, fur, wheat, lumber, and tobacco overseas. John Griffiths launched a new, speedier ship—the clipper ship. It was a sleek vessel with tall masts and huge sails that caught every gust of wind.

Railroads and Clippers Improve the Northern Economy Chapter 14, Section 1 Railroads increased commerce within the United States. New York, Chicago, and Cincinnati became major rail centers. Railroads allowed factory owners to transport large amounts cheaply and quickly Railroads linked towns with cities. The towns became markets for goods made in the cities. Railroads brought cheap farm goods from the West to New England. New England farmers could not compete and left their farms for other jobs.

Steam Power Also Helped the Northern Economy Chapter 14, Section 1 Steam power had advantages over water power. Factories that used steam power could be built anywhere. They didn’t have to be built along rivers. Steam-driven machines were powerful, as well as cheap to run. The new machines produced more goods at lower cost.

Section 1 Assessment Chapter 14, Section 1 The telegraph changed people’s lives. For the first time, people could a) communicate over long distances almost instantly. b) carry letters on horseback from telegraph station to telegraph station. c) send messages from New England to Ireland. d) find jobs in the new factories in northern cities. An expanding network of railroads changed the northern economy by a) helping the United States win a larger share of the world’s trade. b) increasing northern farming. c) dividing workers in rural towns from those in big cities. d) transporting goods more cheaply and quickly.

What did factory workers hope to accomplish by joining together? Life in the North Chapter 14, Section 2 How were conditions in factories in the 1840s worse than those in the 1820s? What did factory workers hope to accomplish by joining together? Who were the new immigrants in the mid-1800s? How were free black Americans treated in the North?

Factory Conditions Worsened in the 1840s Chapter 14, Section 2 Steam-powered factories changed the way work was done and the way workers lived and worked. Mass production changed the way workers felt about their jobs. In the past, artisans, or skilled workers, were proud of what they made. With mass production, factory owners were interested in how much the factory produced, not how well it was done. Workers could not be creative.

Factory Conditions Worsened in the 1840s Factory workers were unlikely to rise to manage a business. Often, entire families worked in factories, including children. They worked long hours—from 4 A.M. until 7:30 P.M. Factory workers faced discomfort and danger. Few factories had windows or heating systems. Factory machines had no safety devices. There were no laws regulating factory conditions.

Workers Joined Together Chapter 14, Section 2 Poor working conditions and low wages led workers to organize. In the 1820s and 1830s, artisans in each trade formed trade unions. The unions called for a shorter workday, higher wages, and better working conditions. Sometimes, unions went on strike, that is, they refused to work until their demands were met. Slowly, workers made progress. In 1840, President Van Buren approved a ten-hour workday for government employees. Artisans won better pay, but unskilled workers made little progress. Women Workers organized, too.

New Immigrants of the Mid-1800s Chapter 14, Section 2 By the late 1800s, many factory workers were new immigrants. Between 1845 and 1860, over 1.5 million Irish immigrated to the United States. A disease had destroyed Ireland’s potato crop, leading to a famine, or severe food shortage. Thousands died of starvation and disease. Others fled to the United States. Between 1848 and 1860, nearly a million Germans arrived in the United States. Revolutions had broken out in many parts of Germany. People left Germany to avoid the violence.

New Immigrants of the Mid-1800s Chapter 14, Section 2 Not everyone welcomed the immigrants. One group of Americans, called nativists, wanted to preserve the country for native-born, white citizens. Because immigrants were willing to work for lower pay, some Americans protested that they “stole” jobs. Many people distrusted the different languages, customs, and dress. Nativists formed a new political party. It was called the Know-Nothing party. The party was anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant.

New Immigrants of the Mid-1800s Some people blamed immigrants for a rise in city crime. Some people mistrusted Irish newcomers because many of them were Catholics. Until then, a majority of immigrants to the United States had been Protestant.

New Immigrants of the Mid-1800s Chapter 14, Section 2

Black Americans in the North Black Americans in the North met discrimination. Discrimination is a policy or attitude that denies equal rights to certain groups of people. Black Americans were denied “the ballot-box, the jury box, the halls of the legislature, the army, the public lands, the school, and the church.” Many black Americans had trouble finding good jobs.

Section 2 Assessment Chapter 14, Section 2 Which statement best describes one way factory conditions changed in the 1840s because of mass production? a) Workers began to take greater pride in the goods they made. b) Factory owners began to care more about how good their products were. c) New laws said that owners must spend money on safety equipment. d) Factory workers now worked longer hours for lower wages. After northern states outlawed slavery, free African Americans in the North a) were drafted into the army. b) were still not allowed to vote in most northern states. c) found good jobs because they were willing to work for less. d) fled to the South.

Cotton Kingdom in the South Chapter 14, Section 3 How did the cotton gin improve cotton production in the South? How did the South become an agricultural economy? In what ways was the South dependent on the North?

The Cotton Gin Textile mills in the North and in Britain needed a lot of raw cotton to make cloth. Southern planters could grow plenty of cotton, but removing seeds by hand was a slow process. Eli Whitney built a machine to clean cotton—the cotton gin. It had rollers with wire teeth that separated the seeds from the fibers. One worker using a gin could do the work of 50 people cleaning cotton by hand.

The cotton gin led to a boom in cotton production. By the 1850s, cotton plantations extended from the East Coast westward to Texas. This area became known as the Cotton Kingdom. As the Cotton Kingdom spread, so did slavery.

The Rise of Cotton Production and the Growth of Slavery Chapter 14, Section 3

The South Becomes an Agricultural Economy Crop Growing Area Effects Cotton from South Carolina through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi & Texas promoted the plantation system and slavery Rice coasts of South Carolina and Georgia required expensive irrigation and drainage systems promoted the plantation system Sugar Cane Louisiana and Texas Tobacco Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky Usually grown on small farms Chapter 14, Section 3

Economic Relationship Between North and South Chapter 14, Section 3 Southern industry remained small. agricultural tools—cotton gins, planters, and plows other agricultural goods—ironware, hoes, and hemp for bags cheap cotton cloth Tredegar Iron Works of Richmond, Virginia—railroad equipment, machinery, tools, cannons flour mills However, the South had little industry compared with the North. The South depended on the North and on Europe. loans from northern banks northern furniture, tools, and machines

Section 3 Assessment Chapter 14, Section 3 The cotton gin had a great effect on the South. The invention of the cotton gin led to a) an enormous expansion in cotton production. b) a decrease in the number of slaves. c) the spread of large tobacco plantations onto cotton land. d) the introduction of new crops, such as rice. In the mid-1800s, most southern manufacturing centered on a) furniture. b) railroads. c) agricultural tools. d) cotton cloth. Want to connect to the American History link for this section?

Which groups of white southerners made up southern society? Life in the South Chapter 14, Section 4 Which groups of white southerners made up southern society? How were free African Americans treated? What laws restricted the freedom of African Americans? How did African Americans resist slavery?

White Southern Society Chapter 14, Section 4 The wealthy A planter was someone who owned at least 20 slaves. Only one white southerner in 30 belonged to a planter family. Less than 1 percent owned 50 or more slaves. These wealthy families were called the “cottonocracy.” Small farmers About 75 percent of southern whites were small farmers. They owned the land they farmed. These “plain folk” might own one or two slaves. Plain folk worked with their slaves in the fields. Poor whites They did not own the land they farmed. They rented it. Poor whites often lived in the hilly, wooded areas of the South.

Total number of slaves in the Lower South : 2,312,352 (47% of total population). Total number of slaves in the Upper South: 1,208758 (29% of total population). Total number of slaves in the Border States: 432,586 (13% of total population)

Who Made Up Southern Society? Chapter 14, Section 4

Free Blacks in the South Chapter 14, Section 4 Most free Black Americans were descendants of slaves freed during and after the American Revolution. Others had bought their freedom. Some slave owners feared that free blacks might set a bad example for slaves. They might encourage slaves to rebel. They proved black Americans could take care of themselves.

Free Blacks in the South Southern states passed laws to make life harder (*discrimination) for free black Americans. were not allowed to travel or vote. *In some states, they either had to move out of the state or risk the chance of being kidnapped and enslaved.

Slaves were forbidden to gather in groups of more than three. Laws and Practices Restricted the Freedom of Enslaved African Americans Chapter 14, Section 4 Southern states passed laws known as slave codes to keep slaves from running away or rebelling. Slaves were forbidden to gather in groups of more than three. They could not leave their owner’s land without a written pass. They were not allowed to own guns. It was a crime for slaves to learn how to read and write. They did not have the right to testify in court.

Laws Restricted the Freedom of Enslaved African Americans Chapter 14, Section 4 Conditions varied from plantation to plantation. Only one real protection for slaves against mistreatment. Owners looked at their slaves as valuable property. Most slave owners needed to keep the slaves healthy and productive. Since southern laws did not recognize slave marriages or slave families, it was hard for to keep their families together. On some large plantations, *extended families—grandparents, parents, children, aunts, uncles, and cousins—often did manage to form close-knit groups.

Section 4 Assessment In the 1860s, most southern whites were Chapter 14, Section 4 In the 1860s, most southern whites were a) poor white people. b) planters. c) small farmers. d) members of the “cottonocracy.” Slaves were forbidden to learn how to read and write mainly because a) slave owners feared that slaves who could read would use their knowledge to run away. b) whites thought that educated slaves would write stories about the planters. c) white people thought that if African Americans could read and write, they might become too friendly. d) poor whites did not want African Americans to know more than they did.
