5 American Economy 1790 - 1860 Industrial Revolution
By early 1800s, Northern factories can mass produce cotton goods Spinning jenny, mechanical looms (flying shuttle) Cotton cloth is more utilitarian than wool Demand for cotton rises Cotton can be grown across the south Planters move west –new states added By 1860, 75% of the world’s cotton grown in the American South
