Get with your partner to finish getting your “History Show and Tell” together! We will share in two minutes!

2. History Show and Tell!
With a partner, use the internet to discover an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
1. Find a picture of the invention. One person will walk around the room to show it to everyone.
2. Write a short description of the invention. What is it? Who invented it and when was it invented? What is the purpose of this invention? One person will read this to the class.
You will turn this in for a daily grade, so put forth your best effort!
I will come around and check your work. Make sure I check your so you can get your grade!

3. Cottage Industry to Factory Work
Cotton goods had been made via the cottage industry

4. Flying Shuttle, 1733
Invented by John Kay
Sped up weaving

5. Spinning Jenny, 1764 Invented by James Hargreaves
Made thread faster to keep up with the flying shuttle

6. Water Powered Loom, 1787
Invented by Edmund Cartwright to keep up with thread production
Machines powered by water, run by people

7. Steam Engine, 1782
Improved by James Watt
Powered machinery

8. Cotton Gin, 1793 Invented by Eli Whitney Cleaned cotton quickly
By 1850s, U.S. produced ¾ of the world’s cotton!

9. Cottage Industry to Factory Work
British cotton cloth production increased dramatically!
1760: imported 2.5 million pounds of cotton (enough for cottage industry production)
1787: imported 22 million pounds of cotton
1840: imported 366 million pounds of cotton
Factory system created a new labor system

10. Cotton in Alabama
The following description, penned by British visitor Hiram Fuller in 1858, accurately depicts the integral part that the cotton trade played in the urban development of antebellum Mobile.
Mobile—a pleasant cotton city of some thirty
thousand inhabitants—where the people live in
cotton houses and ride in cotton carriages.
They buy cotton, sell cotton, think cotton, eat
cotton, and dream cotton. They marry cotton wives,
and unto them are born cotton children. In
enumerating the charms of a fair widow, they
begin by saying she makes so many bales of
cotton. It is the great staple—the sum and
substance of Alabama. It has made Mobile, and
all its citizens.

11. Coal, Iron, and Railroads
Steam engines  coal industry grew  iron industry grew
New process – puddling- created higher quality iron, and business boomed.
1740: 17,000 tons
1780s: 70,000 tons
1852: 3 million tons (more than the rest of the world combined!)
Railroads!
Created more jobs
Less expensive transportation = less expensive goods = more sales = more demand = more factories and machines
Ongoing economic growth!

12. Review!
1. Name important inventions that changed the textile industry.
2. Why did the invention of new technology lead to further inventions?
3. What is the difference between the cottage industry and the factory system.
4. What connections can you see between advances in iron production, the development of railroads, and the growth of the coal industry?
