  1. How did transportation developments and industrialization affect the nation’s economy? 7.1 Objectives • Summarize the key developments in the transportation revolution of the early 1800s. • Analyze the rise of industry in the United States in the early 1800s. • Describe some of the leading inventions and industrial developments in the early 1800s. • Turn in Black Hawk assignment, if you didn’t on Friday • Open text books to chapter 7 section 1 • Get notebook ready for a few slides of notes

  2. Summarize the key developments in the transportation revolution of the early 1800s. The major settlements in the U.S. originally developed along the rivers and harbors of the Atlantic coast. Overland transportation was expensive whether by cart, wagon, sleigh, stagecoach, horse or oxen. Moving freight a few dozen miles by land cost as much as shipping the same items across the ocean. Water was the most efficient way to move people and goods.

  3. Summarize the key developments in the transportation revolution of the early 1800s. • Profits were supposed to be used for road improvements but most roads remained in poor condition. • Few turnpikes made a profit or really improved the cost or speed of transportation. • An exception was the National Road. This route of crushed stone extended from Maryland to the Ohio River in 1818. States chartered toll roads called turnpikes.

  4. Summarize the key developments in the transportation revolution of the early 1800s. Water travel was revolutionizedby the steamboat. In 1807, the first practical steamboat, the Clermont, began sailing from New York City. Steamboats shortened a trip up the Mississippi from New Orleans to Louisville from months to mere days. Inventor Robert Fulton and his Clermont

  5. Summarize the key developments in the transportation revolution of the early 1800s. Canals linked farms and cities. In 1825, the 363-mile Erie Canal connectedLake Erie to the Hudson River. NOTES Shipping costs between Buffalo and New York City plummeted from $100 to $4 per ton. The resulting rise in commerce pushed New York City’s population to 800,000 by 1860. Now linked to markets in the East,Midwest farmers experienced tremendous growth.

  7. Summarize the key developments in the transportation revolution of the early 1800s. Major Canals, Roads, and Railroads, 1840-1850

  8. Summarize the key developments in the transportation revolution of the early 1800s. • started in Britain in the 1820s. • Cost less to build; faster • The US had 13 miles of track in 1830 and 31,000 miles by 1860. • A trip from Detroit to New York City that took 28 days in 1800 took just 2 days by train in 1857. Introduction of railroads provided the most dramatic transportation growth. NOTES

  9. Summarize the key developments in the transportation revolution of the early 1800s.

  10. Tuesday November 26, 2013 • Turn in 7.1 Reading/Writing assignment • Answer the following in your notebook: • What city became the nation’s leading commercial center, thanks to the Erie Canal? • Why were railroads better than canals? • Which industry was the first to use machines? • Name one new invention from this section.

  11. New ways to generate power lead to power-driven machines. Machines replace hand tools and put industry into factories. New machines mass-produce products. War of 1812 turns focus on developing industries at home. Cause and Effect Industrial Revolution • New machines change methods of producing goods and cultivating crops. • New industry stimulates economic growth. • Distinctive regional economies develop. • Enormous social changes occur as people work outside their home.

  12. Factory Work

  13. Machines and Factories

  14. Analyze the rise of industry in the United States in the early 1800s. In the 1700s, British factories began using machines powered by steam or water to spin thread or weave cloth. This was the start of the Industrial Revolution. Britain tried to prohibit the export of industrialtechnology. In 1793, Samuel Slater, anEnglish emigrant, built a water-powered mill from memory inPawtucket, Rhode Island.

  15. Analyze the rise of industry in the United States in the early 1800s. NOTES The Industrial Revolution soon transformed the American economy. Several mills used the family system that employed parents and children who lived in a company-owned village. Began in the textile industry. In 1813, Francis Cabot Lowellcombined all of the steps to manufacture cloth in one location in Waltham, MA.

  16. Analyze the rise of industry in the United States in the early 1800s. In the 1820s, Lowell built his own factory town of Lowell, Massachusetts. He employed young single girls from area farms. Lowell girlslived in closely supervised boarding houses with strict rules. After several years, most married.

  17. Analyze the rise of industry in the United States in the early 1800s. Technology changed how people worked and lived.

  18. Describe some of the leading inventions and industrial developments in the early 1800s. • Rather than a skilled artisan making a single clock or musket, workers made individual components that were later assembled. • Eli Whitney produced muskets with standardized parts. A component from one gun fit any other gun. • Elias Howe and Isaac Singeralso used interchangeable parts to build sewing machines. Interchangeable parts improved efficiency.

  19. Describe some of the leading inventions and industrial developments in the early 1800s.

  20. Describe some of the leading inventions and industrial developments in the early 1800s. In 1837 Samuel F.B. Morse revolutionized communications with his invention the electric telegraph. • The telegraph sent electrical pulsesalong metal wires. • “Morse Code” used dots and dashes to instantly send information for miles. • By 1860, the United States had 50,000 miles of telegraph line.

  21. Describe some of the leading inventions and industrial developments in the early 1800s. Agriculture remained America’s chief industry but innovations made farms more productive. NOTES
