AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION -ENCLOSURE MOVEMENT -Property in proportion to land owned in open field system -Large fields that could be cultivated easier with fewer people SEED DRILL- JETHRO TULL TURNIPS- CHARLES TOWNSEND BREEDING- ROBERT BAKEWELL
5
Cooperative plowing Conserved the quality of land Balanced distribution of good land Farmers were part of a “team” Gleaning
6
AFTER Each landowner received a single piece of property No common lands Before
7
“Enclosed” Fields
8
“Enclosed” Lands Today
9
Large Land Owners (Benefited) Had the political strength to pass the enclosure law Owned large unified farms under this system Farming was more efficient Didn’t need consent of the village to experiment with new crop methods
10
Small Farmers Forced off Their Land Had to pay for : Required fencing A team of oxen Could no longer glean or gather wood Often had to sell plots to large landowners: Forced to Rent or Work for someone else Increasing the # of men looking for work
11
Planted seed in neat rows Improved germination by making furrow, dropping seed into them, and covering them Reduced amount of seed used in planting
12
Additional Machines Horse-drawn cultivator – Jethro Tull Cast-iron plow (1797) – American Charles Newbold Reaper – Englishman Joseph Boyce (1799) and American Cyrus McCormic (1834) Self-cleaning steel plow – John Deere(1837) Thresher – separated grain from stalk Harvester – cut and bind grain Combine - cut, thresh, and sack grain Tractor – pulled equipment through the field Corn planter Potato digger Electric milker Cotton picker
13
Crop Rotation English gentleman farmer Viscount Charles “Turnip” Townsend Alternating grain crops: wheat and barley, with soil enriching crops: turnips and clovers. No longer had to leave land fallow Scientific Breeding 1725-1795 Selective breeding of animals Produced more and better animals Produced more milk and meat
14
1.Agricultural production increased 2.Cost of foodstuffs dropped 3.Increased production of food resulted in part, in a rapid growth of population 4.Large farms, using machines and scientific methods, began to dominate agriculture 5.Number of small farms began to decline 6.The number of farmers, in proportion to total population, decreased sharply 7.Many farmers moved to the cities 8.The population of cities increased rapidly 9.Farmers found their work less difficult because machines performed the back breaking labor 10. Farming changed from a self-sufficient way of life to big business
15
THE POPULATION EXPLODES *Agricultural revolution increases population *Went from 5 million 1700 to 9 million in 1800 *Due to declining death rates caused by reduced risk of famine SEED DRILL
17
AKA Domestic Industry or Putting-Out System Rural household industry Main Participants: entrepreneur and rural worker
18
Peasant Farmers Supplemented their incomes A family would do the work Process the raw material and sell to the entrepreneur
19
Entrepreneur hires willing rural workers Entrepreneur provides: Spinning wheel Loom Raw material
21
Hardworking Clever Businessman Capital Raw materials Workers Market
22
Entrepreneurs Benefited most from Industrial Revolution Came from several groups Merchants, inventors, artisans Ticket to a better life, rags to riches Middle class families lived good lives, dressed well, ate well Valued hard work, to get ahead Little sympathy for poor, thought of as lazy or Poor suffered hardships Workers fought for unions and better conditions
23
Cottage workers were paid by piece Entrepreneur was the one who prospered Increased supply of cloth Demand increased more rapidly Giving way to the factory system
24
1.The invention of machines to do the work of hand tools 2.The use of steam, and later other kinds of power 3.The adoption of the factory system and mass production
25
1733 – John Kay (British) invented the flying shuttle Doubled the output of hand weavers
28
A REVOLUTION OF ENERGY Third factor that triggers Industrial Revolution Energy usually provided by humans of animals First use of water wheels in factories (1700) Also used coal for steam engines 1712 inventor Newcomen develops coal powered steam engine James watt improves it in1769._
29
Britain leads the revolutionary field? §Large supplies of coal and Iron §Lots of workers from the farms of the agricultural revolution also the population boom §Technology as a part of the I.R.(not cause) §Economic conditions increased capital and demand §Stable government that supported economic growth §Population explosion boosts demand for goods. EARLY FACTORY
30
AGE OF IRON AND COAL Iron technology key to Industrial revolution Needed for machines and steam engines Needed coal for fuel Abraham Darby began to use coal instead of wood top smelt the iron (remove ore from Iron- helped developed better quality cheaper iron
31
Changes in the Textile Industry Britain largest industry Early systems were slow (putting out system) Major invention john Kay (Flying Shuttle) First factories use streams and water to power machines Workers and machines produce a lot of goods Flying shuttle
32
1769, Richard Arkwright, Great Britain
33
1774 – James Hargreaves, Great Britain
34
1779, Samuel Crompton, Great Britain
35
1785, Edmund Cartwright, Great Britain
36
1793, Eli Whitney, United States of America
38
STEAM CHANGES TRANSPORTATION PEOPLE NEEDED FASTER WAYS TO MOVE GOODS Improved local transport systems Invented steam locomotive, helped to grow railroads By 1870, railroads crisscross Europe Fulton uses Watt’s steam engine to create steamboat Used to carry cargo and passengers
39
1717, Thomas Newcomen, Great Britain
