Output rose with fewer workers Tenants displaced Moved to cities Britain’s population rose from 5 million in 1700 to 9 million in 1800. Declining death rates Reduced risk of famine.

12. James Watt’s Steam Engine: World Changing Invention James Watt's improvements in 1769 and 1784 to the steam engine converted a machine of limited use, to one of efficiency and many applications.

13. James Watt’s Steam Engine: World Changing Invention Watt’s improved steam engine was the foremost energy source in the emerging Industrial Revolution, and greatly multiplied its productive capacity.

14. James Watt’s Steam Engine: World Changing Invention Watt was a creative genius who radically transformed the world from an agricultural society into an industrial one. Through Watt’s invention of the first practical steam engine, our modern world eventually moved from a 90% rural basis to a 90% urban basis.

15. James Watt’s Steam Engine: World Changing Invention Improved steam engines led to improved systems for transporting people and factory goods.

16. Urbanization In the mid 1700s, more than half the population of Britain lived and worked on farms. Between 1750 and 1851, displaced farming families moved to the cities to work in the new factories.

17. Urban Living Conditions Factory owners rushed to build housing Back to back row houses Several people in very small spaces Poor sanitation High disease rates Crime Massive pollution

19. Working Conditions and Wages Common working day: 12 – 14 hours One short break for lunch Work week: 6 days per week 80 degree heat Workers were beaten if they did not perform well. Hot, polluted factory air. Workers risked losing limbs from the machines. Low wages.

20. Child Labor Children shifted from farm work to factory work. 12 – 14 hour days 6 day weeks Lower wages than adults. Began at age 5. Mining work deformed bodies.

21. Child Labor As concerns about the welfare of children rose in mid 1800s, Parliament held investigations into working conditions. New laws and new labor unions improved conditions.

22. Economists of the Industrial Revolution – page 510 Adam Smith: advocated laissez- faire economics. No government regulation of business. A free market will produce more goods at lower prices, making them affordable by everyone. The basis of Capitalism. Thomas Malthus: Population will outpace the food supply David Ricardo: Poor having too many children, thus leading to a high labor supply and lower wages.

23. Reformers Jeremy Bentham: utilitarianism – “greatest happiness for the greatest number.” John Stuart Mill: advocated government help for the poor and giving the vote to workers and women. Robert Owen: actually built a factory based on the idea that an employer could offer decent living and working conditions and still make a profit.

24. Karl Marx Scientific socialism Economics really a struggle between the “haves” (upper class and merchants) and the “have nots” (proletariat working class.) Advocated a workers’ revolution to replace private ownership of property with cooperative ownership. Led to system of Communism.

25. Debriefing Rock, Paper, Scissors 1.How did you feel at the start of the game? 2.How did you feel when you ran out of paper clips and had to quit the game? Explain. 3.What tactics could you have used to get back into the game? Why didn’t you try those tactics? 4.Do you think this game was fair? Why or why not? 5.Now that the game is over, what action could the teacher take, if any to make the game fair? Should the teacher take such an action? Why or why not?

26. New inventions and development of factories Rapidly growing industry in the 1800s Increased production and higher demand for raw materials Growth of worldwide trade Population explosion and a large labor force Exploitation of mineral resources Highly developed banking and investment system Advances in transportation, agriculture, and communication Economic Effects Child labor laws to end abuses Reformers urging equal distribution of wealth (i.e. Karl Marx) Trade unions Social reform movements, such as utilitarianism, utopianism, socialism, and Marxism Reform bills in Parliament Political Effects The Industrial Revolution Long hours worked by children in factories Increase in population of cities Poor city planning Loss of family stability Expansion of middle class Harsh conditions for laborers Workers’ progress vs. laissez-faire economic attitudes Improved standard of living Creation of new jobs Encouragement of technological progress Social Effects
