  1. Chapter 10, Section 1 The Industrial Revolution

  2. New Ways to Produce Goods • Industrial Revolution: a revolution in the war goods were produced • Before • most goods were made by hand at home or in workshops • Most people were farmers or lived in rural areas

  3. With the Industrial revolution • Machines began to replace hand tools • New sources of power such as steam and electricity replaced human and animal power • Economy shifted from farming to manufacturing • People moved from farms to cities

  4. New technology • The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the mid 1700’s • Inventors developed new technology that changed the textile industry

  5. New technology • Spinning jenny: invented by James Hargreaves, a worker could spin several threads a t once- not just one thread at a time • 1769 Richard Arkwright invented the water frame which could hold 100 spindles of thread and was powered by water • 1780’s Edmund Cartwright built a loom powered by water. A worker could produce 200 times more cloth a day • An American, Eli Whitney, in 1793 invented the cotton gin: a machine that speeded up the process of cleaning cotton fibers

  6. Birth of the factory • Machines had to be set up near rivers. Water flowing downstream or over a Waterfall produced power to run the machines • Capitalists: people with capital, or money, to invest in business to make a profit • Factory system: brought workers and machines together to produce goods. Everyone had to work a certain number of hours and got paid daily or weekly wages

  7. A Secret Crosses the Atlantic • Britain tried to keep its inventions secret. • It forbade anyone to plans of Arkwright’s water frame out of the country and forbade factory workers from leaving Britain

  8. Samuel Slater’s memory • Slater decided to leave England when he heard Americans were offering large rewards for plans of British factories • To avoid getting caught he memorized the design of the machines in Arkwright’s mill • Slater wrote to Moses Brown a Quaker merchant who wanted to build a mill

  9. The First American Mill • 1790 Slater and Brown started the first American mill • Other American manufactures began building ills using Slater’s ideas
