2. Origins Agricultural Revolution 1600’s Enclosure Movement Effects:
Before 1600’s:
1600’s Enclosure Movement
Fenced off plots or holdings combined later with larger, more efficient holdings
Effects:
Large land owners added to their holdings
Small-plot holders become tenant farmers
Common lands gone, individuals could do their own land experiments

3. Jethro Tull – invented seed drill to plant seeds in a straight row without all the waste
Crop rotation – Charles Townsend found out if you plant different crops in the fields, the soils could still rebuild its nutrients
Iron Plows replaced wooden ones
Plows with replaceable blades
Farm machines replaced laborers
Laborers moved to the cities

4. Industrial Revolution
Rapid industrial development
Great Britain had all the factors of production needed
LAND – natural resources
Coal, iron ore, rivers, harbors
LABOR – large population
CAPITAL – tools, machinery equipment, inventory, money

6. Textile Industry Cloth Higher population, higher demand
Mechanization – automatic machinery increases production quickly, more effectively
Each invention improved upon the previous invention to keep up with supply and demand

7. Factory system develops
Workers put in a certain number of hours per day at a fixed rate
Cloth needs cotton
Eli Whitney invents cotton gin
Takes out seeds from fiber of cotton to produce more
Increases slave labor

8. STEAM
More efficient because not all factories would need to be built buy a river
Steam more efficient
Iron couldn’t hold heat, steel could but making steel is expensive
Bessemer Process
Cheaper
Inject air into molten iron to clean impurities

10. Other Industrialization
Shoes, clothing, ammunition, furniture, printing, paper-making, lumber, food processing
Charles Goodyear –
Vulcanization, made rubber less sticky

11. Transportation Communication Stone roadways, canals
Robert Fulton – 1st profitable steamboat across Hudson River in New York

Communication
Battery, Alessandro Volta
Samuel Morse – telegraph connected country

14. Spread of Industry Great Britain – primed and pumped France – WARS
Germany – lacked strong central government until around 1870
United States
Strong central government
Rich natural resources
Increasing population/increasing market
Transcontinental Railroad

15. Section 2

16. Factory System Employers wanted people to do simple tasks
didn’t want skilled workers?
Women and children work for less pay

17. Wage System Varied based on supply and demand Factory work

Commercial capitalism – merchants who bought and sold goods
Industrial capitalism – production and manufacturing of goods

20. Division of Labor
Division of Labor – divided manufacturing process into steps
Eli Whitney
Invented machines that made parts the same
Interchangeable parts
Assembly Line
System of producing large numbers of identical items
Different parts made elsewhere then brought together to produce in a plant/factory

21. Anderson Toy Company Want a job? Need a job? Anderson Toy Company is
a thriving company in London; it creates paper dolls for the young girls of London to play with. Little experience or education is needed.
