10  Machines/Inventions replaced work done by people and animals.  What can machines do that people cant? Or better yet, what do people and animals need that machines don’t?

11 › Factories were built near streams and rivers so they could be powered by water. › What problems could happen when relying on Wind and Water for power?

14  Labor force: A need for workers

15  In 1838, 75% of textile factory workers were women and children.

16  Capitalism : Factories & business are privately owned.  Capitalism: System where countries allow citizens to run businesses and make decisions.

17  Industrialization caused diseases and pollution.

18  Many children worked 16 hour days under atrocious conditions, as their elders did. Laws began to regulate the work of children in factories and cotton mills to 12 hours per day by about 1819. › Soon it was suggested that children aged 11-18 be permitted to work a maximum of twelve hours per day; › children 9-11 were allowed to work 8 hour days; › and children under 9 were no longer permitted to work at all › In Iron and coal mines, children began work at age 5, and generally died before they were 25

19  The treatment of children in factories was often cruel and the children's safety was generally neglected. › The youngest children, who were not old enough to work the machines, were commonly sent to be assistants to textile workers.  The people who the children served would beat them, verbally abuse them, and take no consideration for their safety.  One common punishment for being late or not working up to quota would be to be "weighted." › An overseer would tie a heavy weight to worker's neck, and have them walk up and down the factory aisles so the other children could see them and "take example.”
