2
The Industrial Revolution From England to America
3
Americans felt a new sense of nationalism, a sense of patriotism and strong national identity. In addition, with the demise of the Federalist Party (due to their opposition to the War of 1812), a new sense of national unity came about - the Era of Good Feelings; there were no major political party divisions. Conditions after the War of 1812 fostered the development of industry and contributed to the industrial revolution.
4
Democratic-Republican War Hawks carried on Federalist policies and beliefs like tariffs, trade, a strong nation with a strong army and navy, and energetic development of the nation’s economy. Conditions after the War of 1812 fostered the development of industry.

Video Clips Throughout this presentation, you will view a series of video clips. On the next page in your spiral (after the page you’ll glue this handout on), you’ll take notes on these clips. Title the page, Video Notes: Industrial Revolution. Write the title of each clip, then take notes in a bulleted or numbered list. You’ll use these notes for spiral assignments and for tests/quizzes.

Industrial Revolution Changes in lives were so great the era was named the “Industrial Revolution” People left homes to work in mills Earned wages Life Before the Industrial Revolution
7
Where did it begin? England Textile industry – making cloth Textile Manufacturing before the Industrial Revolution
8
Technological Developments in English textile industry Spinning Jenny James Hargreaves – c. 1770 Could spin 8 threads at once Operated by 1 person Faster production greater amounts cheaper products

The Industrial Revolution comes to the U.S. Samuel Slater Pawtucket, Rhode Island Rhode Island factory System © http://inventors.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.uh.edu/engines/epi384.htm, Feb. 24, 2004 The Industrial Revolution Comes to America

The Rhode Island System Slater duplicated English technology Mills made thread Women in homes wove thread into cloth Whole families worked for mill
19
The Waltham-Lowell System Francis Cabot Lowell Waltham, Massachusetts Launched the factory system – bringing all manufacturing steps into one place to increase efficiency – raw fiber finished clothing or other product “ Lowell Girls ” – advertised for local farm girls, who boarded at the factory
20
The industrial Revolution comes to New England Geographic conditions in New England favored the development of industry Thin, rocky soil made farming difficult and made people willing to find other forms of work Shipping and trade (commerce) had developed early in colonial times Cities had developed near ports, providing people for factory labor and transportation Swiftly flowing rivers could be diverted to run water wheels for power source People had capital to invest (banks) unlike in the South
21
Canals connected factories to fast-flowing rivers Water powered the machines. Canal System Canal System Power drives Power drives Boot Cotton Mills Museum Weave Room Boot Cotton Mills Museum Weave Room National Park Service links -
22
Massachusetts becomes the Manufacturing Center of the North New England ’ s Industrial Revolution Factories and the Growth of Industrial Cities
23
Results of factory system Employees no longer set own priorities, hours, conditions Work conditions suffered – long hours for very low pay, no safety regulations
24
More results... Women were first to protest factory conditions Child labor Poor conditions Led eventually to labor unions/labor laws
25
Power sources From “man” power To water power Eventually to steam power in later decades Steam Power
26
Meanwhile, in the South - Eli Whitney 1793 - Cotton Gin Processed 50x amount of short-staple cotton than done by hand © http://www.eliwhitney.org/ew.html, Feb. 25, 2004 The Cotton Gin

Effects of Cotton Gin Southerners were able to grow short- staple cotton profitably; this variety grew inland (as far as Texas), unlike sea island cotton Cotton Kingdom - More and more invested in growing cotton
31
More effects... Southerners who’d been seeking a cash crop to replace tobacco found it England’s textile mills created a demand for cotton that the South filled
32
More effects... Demand for labor increased demand for slaves increased. 1807-1808 – Slavery was not abolished (Constitutional Convention trade compromise) Slave imports increase as cotton exports rise
33
Back to the Factories - Interchangeable Parts Whitney’s most important invention Identical machine parts that could be quickly put together to form a product Gunsmithing – government contract for muskets The Impact of Interchangeable Parts
34
Interchangeable Parts Repair easy – replace broken piece Foundation for 20 th century assembly line technology Led to mass production lower cost for goods

36
Effects of the Industrial Revolution Change in lives of workers Poor pay and working conditions Long hours Immigrant population labor Women work outside home Urbanization (as people move to cities to work in factories) Factory Work
37
Effects… Further polarization of American economics North – industry, business South – agriculture, cotton, slavery Greater US industrial power
