9. “The Chimney Sweeper," from Songs of Innocence When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry " 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!' " So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep. There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head That curled like a lamb's back, was shaved: so I said, "Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head's bare You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair." And so he was quiet, & that very night, As Tom was a-sleeping he had such a sight! That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned & Jack, Were all of them locked up in coffins of black. And by came an Angel who had a bright key, And he opened the coffins & set them all free; Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing, they run, And wash in a river and shine in the Sun. Then naked & white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds and sport in the wind. And the Angel told Tom, if he'd be a good boy, He'd have God for his father & never want joy. And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark, And got with our bags & our brushes to work. Though the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm; So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm..............................................—William Blake

10. Industrialization soon spread to western Europe and the United States. Other regions did not industrialize in the 1800s. What was it about Western countries that encouraged them to embrace industry? Political liberty Freedom to compete Rewards reaped Exploitation and improvements Why Western Countries? British restrictions Hamilton, 1791 Samuel Slater – Water frame – Slater’s Mill Lowell’s Mill America Belgium, 1807 France, 1815 Germany, 1850 – Railroads – Treaties Europe Industrialization Spreads

11. Industry in Asia Eventually, industry spread to Asia. Japan first in 1868 Meiji government The 1900s—industrialization for – China – India – Russia

13. Where employees worked Major change from cottage industry Had to leave home to work Migration from farms to Cities Hardships for some workers Life in factory towns Towns grew up around factories Towns, factories rose near coal mines Sanitation poor in many factory towns Working in a factory Dangerous work for all Long workdays (average workday between 12 -14 hours) Poor factory conditions common Factories and Factory Towns

14. “Whole streets, unpaved and without drains or main sewers, are worn into deep ruts and holes in which water constantly stagnates, and are so covered with refuse and excrement as to be impassable from depth of mud and intolerable stench."

Workers in a New Economy Wealthy to invest in, own factories Mid-level to run factories Low-level to run machines Changing Labor Conditions No government regulation Labor unions organized Strikes brought change Cottage Workers’ Unrest Handmade goods more expensive than factory made Luddite movement, 1811 Violence spread, 1812 New Class of Workers Growth of middle class Managers, accountants, engineers, mechanics, salesmen Economy increased The Factory System and Workers

22. The factory system changed the world of work. In addition, new processes further changed how people worked in factories. Mass production began in U.S. Elements: – Interchangeable parts – Assembly line Production and repair more efficient Production more swift Mass Production Dramatic increase in production Businesses charged less Affordable goods More repetitious jobs Soon became norm Effects Factories and Mass Production

23. Old mercantile system restricted trade Laissez-faire economics Adam Smith, market economy Thomas Malthus, poverty unavoidable Industrialization succeeded and spread Capitalism and Competition Shift in wealth and power Entrepreneur Banking and finance Andrew Carnegie, rags to riches Robber barons Wealthy business men who use exploitative practices to amass their wealth New Roles for Business Leaders New Ideas about Economics
