RISE OF THE MACHINES
Late 1700s-Early 1800s
New technologies speed up pace of life
Major changes in social and cultural aspects of society

II. DIFFERENT ADVANCES
A. Agricultural
B. Textile
C. Transportation

4. IR today – what advances today have had major impact on lives?
This is how a study of the Industrial Revolution relates to you – understanding its past impact can help us deal with new advances and their impact on society now.

5. Industrial Revolution
For a society to experience an “Industrial Revolution” many things must be present: The Factors of Production: Land, Labor, Capital. Land- Natural Resources- iron, coal, etc. Waterways- source of power, transportation. Labor- Workforce, affordable labor * (what did this mean in some cases?) Capital - Money through wealthy individuals - Bank Loans (available in stable societies and economic systems) -Entrepreneurs

6. WHY ENGLAND? Intersected by many rivers Flat
Good sea access to ship goods
Had land, labor and capital

7. The Beginnings of Industrialization
1. Agricultural Revolution
Increased food supplies led to increased population demanding manufactured goods and provided labor for factories
2. Abundant natural Resources
Water power, coal and timber for fuel, iron ore, rivers for transportation, harbors for shipping
3. Political stability
Created a climate for productivity, overseas trade, and focus energies on economic expansion and industrialization
4. Factors of production
Land, labor, capital – all existed in abundance in Britain

8. The Beginnings of Industrialization (cont)
5. Technological advances in textiles
Cotton cloth production increased in speed and quality, increasing profits and influenced other industries to industrialize
6. Entrepreneurs – risk-taking businessmen
Provided organizational and management skills and took financial risks of developing new businesses
7. Building of factories
Allowed industry to move out of the home and centralize in one location with easier access to supplies, transportation and markets.
8. Railroad boom – growth of the number of railroads
Provided an inexpensive way to transport raw and finished materials and also created new jobs

9. Farming Picks Up THE SEED DRILL INVENTOR: JETHRO TULL YEAR: 1701
IMPACT: PLANT FASTER, MORE YIELD
Other farming techniques
Better breeding practices for animals
Crop rotation
Enclosure system (bigger parcels)

10. British political stability
George III – ruled from
Queen Vicgtoria – ruled from

11. The Spinning Jenny Inventor: James Hargreaves Year: 1764
Impact: Spin multiple threads at once

12. THE COTTON GIN Inventor: Eli Whitney Year: 1793
Impact: Clean cotton infinitely faster, easier
THE COTTON GIN

13. Steam Engine Inventor: James Watt Year: 1763
Allows for more coal production

14. Steam Engine Steam combustion runs engine Drains water out of mines
Allows for more coal production

15. BRITISH COAL PRODUCTION
1700 : 2.7 million tons
1750 : 4.7 million tons
1800 : 10 million tons
1850 : 50 million tons

16. APPLYING THE STEAM ENGINE

17. COMMERCIAL STEAMBOAT INVENTOR: ROBERT FULTON YEAR: 1807 IMPACT:
SAIL BULK GOODS EFFECTIVELY ACROSS WATERWAYS

18. THE LOCOMOTIVE INVENTOR: GEORGE STEPHENSON YEAR: 1814
IMPACT: MOVE HEAVIER LOADS FASTER

19. CANAL SYSTEM CONNECTS MAJOR WATERWAYS
HAUL HEAVY LOADS THAT HORSES CAN’T

20. WHERE DO PEOPLE GO? Factories make production cheaper, easier
Small, independent businesses go under
People forced to move to cities

21. A GREAT MIGRATION
In your notes, look at the chart measuring population density and the table for city growth.
How many cities have more than 100,000 people by 1911?
How many times bigger are the populations in 1891 on the table than the populations in 1801?

22. THERE’S ALWAYS ONE… Resistance forms against industrialization
LUDDITES ARE BIGGEST GROUP
Named for “Ned Ludd”
People attack modern
machines
Government forced to
combat problem

23. “Meanwhile, at social Industry's command,  How quick, how vast an increase. From the germ  Of some poor hamlet, rapidly produced  Here a huge town, continuous and compact,  Hiding the face of earth for leagues-and there,  Where not a habitation stood before,  Abodes of men irregularly massed  Like trees in forests,-spread through spacious tracts,  O'er which the smoke of unremitting fires  Hangs permanent, and plentiful as wreaths  Of vapour glittering in the morning sun.  And, wheresoe'er the traveller turns his steps,  He sees the barren wilderness erased,  Or disappearing…” –William Wordsworth

24. Rev. Edward Stanley
The most intense curiosity and excitement prevailed... and ... enormous masses of densely packed people lined the road, shouting and waving hats and handkerchiefs as we flew by them. What with the sight and sound of these cheering multitudes and the tremendous velocity with which we were borne past them, my spirits rose to true champagne height....
