6. Life in Britain before the Industrial Revolution Most people lived in the country, worked on farms, grew their own food.

7. Industrial Revolution A long slow process that changed the way goods were made.

8. Causes • The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the mid 1700s when British inventors developed new machinery to manufacture clothing (textiles). • For example, James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny in 1764, a machine that could spin several threads at once. Spinning Jenny

9. Causes • A new system was created called the factory systemwhich brought workers and machinery together in one place to produce goods. • Prior to this, production done in the home was known as a “cottage industry”.

10. Urbanization The process of a population shifting from farms to cities.

11. Child Labor • Children as young as seven worked in factories and were paid very little. • Children worked changing equipment on machinery, a very dangerous job that could cause serious injury.

12. Long Hours Factory work meant 12-14 hour days, six days a week.

13. Changes in Home Life • The Industrial Revolution led to more family members going to work. • Women and children often went to work at factories to help support the family.

14. New Transportation Methods • New transportation methods developed that could get goods and people to distant places faster and cheaper than ever before. Railroads

15. Steamboat • The first successful steamboat voyage was in 1807. • Goods could now be moved more quickly and cheaper than before.

16. Canals Man-made waterways were constructed to transport goods.

17. Roads • Roads were built and improved. • Farmers and manufacturers could transport crops and goods to sell.

18. Railroads • The transport of materials - coal and iron ore from the mines and raw cotton from the docks – became cheaper thus the goods produced were cheaper. • Railroads were used by coal-burning, steam-power locomotives that provided quick transportation to places inaccessible by water.
