The Industrial Revolution Subtitle

Why? ▪ State Content Standards ▪ –10.3 Students analyze the effects of the Industrial Revolution in England, France, Germany, Japan, and the United States. ▪ 1. Analyze why England was the first country to industrialize. ▪ 2. Examine how scientific and technological changes and new forms of energy brought about massive social, economic, and cultural change (e.g., the inventions and discoveries of James Watt, Eli Whitney, Henry Bessemer, Louis Pasteur, Thomas Edison). ▪ 3. Describe the growth of population, rural to urban migration, and growth of cities associated with the Industrial Revolution. ▪ 4. Trace the evolution of work and labor, including the demise of the slave trade and the effects of immigration, mining and manufacturing, division of labor, and the union movement. ▪ 5. Understand the connections among natural resources, entrepreneurship, labor, and capital in an industrial economy. ▪ 6. Analyze the emergence of capitalism as a dominant economic pattern and the responses to it, including Utopianism, Social Democracy, Socialism, and Communism.

Goals for Learning ▪ To name the economic conditions needed for industrialization to take place ▪ To explain what was revolutionary about the economic changes that took place in England during the Industrial Revolution ▪ To describe the benefits and problems of industrialization ▪ To identify important inventions that helped industrialization

The Growth of the First Modern Industries (Section 2) ▪ Why Did Manufactures Build Factories? *Textile work was done in homes –Costly & time consuming *Factories built Workers left their homes and came to the factories *Factories brought workers, machines and source of power together -Workers now worked when & where manufacturer told them –Also the hours that the manufacturer said –Also do the amount of work the manufacturer demanded

Transportation Improves (Section 3) ▪ Movement of people and things from one place to another –Industry needs good transportation ▪ How Did Canals Help Industry? –Ship heavy products –Roads were made from dirt Problem…rain turns dirt to mud. ?

Transportation Improves (Section 3) ▪ How Did the Steam Engine Change the Textile Industry? –Steam Engine: 1705 –James Watt: 1763 Made steam engine more efficient 1773 developed steam engine that turned wheels –Could now run machine Allowed textile manufactures to build factories anywhere they wanted –Did not need to be near rivers!

Transportation Improves (Section 3) ▪ Who is the Founder of Railroads? *George Stephenson: 1814 Steam locomotive –Used a boiler to increase the heat –Produced steam under pressure –Could haul really heavy loads ▪ Why Did Railroads become Important? –Most important form of transportation in the 19th century Fast and inexpensive way to move raw materials and finished products

Industry Brings Change and Problems (Section 4) ▪ What Laws Stopped the Spread of Industrialization? –New machines couldn’t be sold to other countries –Skilled workers not allowed to leave ▪ How Did a British Worker Help the USA? –Samuel Slater: 1789 Memorized how to build a spinning machine Came to US Met Moses Brown who then built spinning machines in the U.S.
