Industrial Revolution Technological InnovationSignificance Factory System Urbanization-people moved to cities (mostly immigrants from Ireland). Products could be produced faster and cheaper. Hire low-waged workers in the north. Cotton Gin Invented by Eli Whitney made the cotton-cleaning process more efficient. It enabled cotton farmers to move farther west to grow cotton & increased the number of slaves in the south. Interchangeable Parts Parts for devices were made to be nearly identical so that they could fit into any device of the same type; this allows easy assembly of new devices and efficient repair of existing devices. Mechanical Reaper Invented by Cyrus McCormick increased farm productivity. This machine allowed crops to be harvested mechanically instead of manually.
