How Things Are Made During Colonial times, most people lived and worked on farms Workers were in short supply outside the home To make up for lack of workers, Americans developed tools that made their jobs easier and more efficient At home, people made clothes, furniture, farm equipment, and household items By the mid-1700s, the way things were made began to change

Changes To How Things Are Made First happened in Great Britain British inventors created machinery to perform some of the work involved in cloth making Ran by water power Textile (cloth) factories were built by fast moving rivers People left the farms and moved in order to make money This is known as the Industrial Revolution- Hand made to machine made products

Industrial Revolution in New England New England was the first to have the Industrial Revolution in America The regions geography contributed to the development of the Industrial Revolution 1. Farming was difficult in New England (Poor soil, short growing season) 2. New England had rivers and streams for waterpower 3. New England was close to resources (coal and iron deposits) 4. Had many ports

New Technology During the Industrial Revolution, new inventions were introduced The spinning jenny, the water frame, and the power loom allowed many steps in making cloth to be done by machines These machines saved time and money Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin- removed seeds from cotton Before the cotton gin- A person can clean only one pound of cotton in a day After the cotton gin- A person could clean 50 pounds a day

Advances in Production In 1798 Eli Whitney was to make 10,000 guns in two years Before Whitney, each gun was made by hand, so each gun would be different If a piece broke, its replacement part would have to be custom made By 1800, Whitney had not delivered the guns He was called to Washington to explain the delay Whitney arrived with a box full of different parts- barrels, triggers, and so on Whitney took one part from each pile and assembled a gun in seconds Made machines that could make parts that were exactly alike Used standardization- using interchangeable parts Made items faster and less expensive Repairs were easier Could now produce hundreds of guns in the time it took a gunsmith to make one

Patents and Factories 1790- Congress passed a patent law to protect the rights of inventors The British tried to keep the information secret, but a few British workers brought the knowledge to the United States Samuel Slater memorized the design and made a cotton mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island Slater’s Mill started the Industrial Revolution in the United States Francis Cabot Lowell improved the Slater’s process All stages of cloth making were performed under one roof Lowell began the factory system- All steps in one place to increase efficiency

Free Enterprise Industrial growth requires competition to flourish with little government interference Capitalism is the economic system of the United States Individuals put their capital into a business hoping to make more money Free enterprise also describes our economy People may produce, sell, and work were they want The major elements of free enterprise are competition, profits, private property, and economic freedom

Agriculture Expands Even with the Industrial Revolution, most Americans still lived and worked on farms In the Northeast, farmers marketed their produce locally In the South, cotton production rose dramatically Slavery rose dramatically as well Between 1790 and 1820- Cotton production soared from 3,000 bales to more than 300,000 bales per year Farmers moved to the West to plant cotton Western farmers north of the Ohio River concentrated on raising pork and cash crops such as corn and wheat

Section 1 Which of the following was a result of the invention of the cotton gin? A. It encouraged farmers in the Northeast to begin planting cotton. B. It led to a dramatic increase in Southern cotton production. C. It had no impact on the demand for cotton. D. It encouraged many plantation owners to free their enslaved workers. A B C D

A B C In which area of the country was cotton the major crop? Section 1 In which area of the country was cotton the major crop? A. The North B. The South C. The West A B C

Corporations Develop Corporations- Large businesses Developed rapidly in the 1830s when legal obstacles to their formation were removed Corporations made it easier to sell stock They could now finance improvement and development

A B C D How were corporations financed? Section 1 How were corporations financed? A. They received money from the federal government. B. One wealthy individual provided all of the money. C. Shares of ownership called stock were sold. D. Taxes collected from citizens funded the corporations. A B C D

Cities Come of Age Factories led to the growth of towns and cities Cities such as New York, Boston, and Baltimore grew as centers of commerce and trade The economy grew in these cities Cities like Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Louisville profited from their locations on major rivers These cities didn’t have sewers, so diseases spread 1793- Yellow fever killed thousands in Philadelphia Fires spread easily because of wood buildings Libraries, museums, and shops developed in cities
