Revolution an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed a sudden, complete or marked change in something

The Industrial Revolution

What was it? the change from an agricultural society to industrial because new factories in the northeast states Show video Clip Life before Industrial Revolution

When did it happen? the Industrial Revolution began in the United States around 1800 in the New England states

Why did it begin the Northeast? New England had poor soil for farming Northeast has many rivers = waterpower for factories NE had port cities for shipping to other states and across the Atlantic Subsistence farmers were willing to move to the cities

The Industrial Revolution occurred because of… FREE ENTERPRISE – people are free to buy, sell, own, and produce products as well as work wherever they choose Which founding father supported an economy based on free enterprise? The government had few regulations to control the economy

Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution started in the late 1760 in Britain and spread to the United States as an effect of the War of 1812.

The Industrial Revolution required the invention of new machines and technology – which is scientific discoveries that simplify work. Congress created patents to protect inventors’ new inventions from being copied. Show video clip the Industrial Revolution comes to America

It began in the textile industry, but soon transferred to other industries. Work shifted from homes to factories, where workers could be supervised and where water and steam power could be used to run machines

Ultimately, the Industrial Revolution occurred as a combination of the following events: Rise of the factory system Use of steam power Mass production of goods Industrial Revolution

The Cotton Gin Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, which was a simple machine that quickly and efficiently removed seeds from cotton. Farm production increased dramatically.

Eli Whitney’s Cotton Gin, 1791 Cotton became more profitable = an increase in the need for slave labor Removed seeds from cotton Show video clip the cotton gin

Factories Factory System – a system bringing manufacturing steps together under one roof or in one place. Most employees were women and children working LONG hours. Show video factory and the growth of the cities

Francis Lowell- opened the Lowell factory in Massachusetts Francis Lowell- opened the Lowell factory in Massachusetts. Employed mostly young girls to work in difficult conditions for long hours and low wages. These conditions had an impact on the child labor laws the U.S. has today.

Francis Lowell opened the factory Lowell Girls Francis Lowell opened the factory What was their typical “profile”? – young girls, bad conditions, long hours

Irish Immigrant Girls at Lowell Show video factories and the girls

New Development – Interchangeable Parts Interchangeable parts – identical machine parts that could be quickly put together to make a complete product

Importance of Interchangeable parts Allowed for mass production of a variety of goods so… prices were reduced

Eli Whitney & Interchangeable Parts Could build 10 different rifles from these pieces Show video impact of Interchangeable parts

textile industries -factories that produced clothing and cloth items from cotton; located in North

The Cotton Gin’s Impact on Slavery The demand for southern cotton grew dramatically because of the cotton gin and the increased number of textile mills in the north that needed cotton more northern textile mills = more southern slaves!

Brief Summary of the Plantation System Large plantations were comprised of several thousand acres. Plantation owners had slaves to do all the work. Some worked in the house, some were trained as blacksmiths, carpenters, shoe makers, or weavers, and others worked with animals in pastures. However, most worked long hours in the fields.

The Cotton Gin Continued… The cotton gin made it possible to clean cotton faster and less expensively than by hand. This encouraged the planters to raise larger cotton crops which required more slaves. Therefore. . .

higher demand for cotton more textile mills in north cotton gin = higher demand for cotton more textile mills in north more slaves in south to work plantations Which leads to…

Regional Specialization North – industrialization South – agriculture (cotton and slavery)

Farming During the Industrial Revolution New England farms were small, usually subsistence farms Western farmers raised pork and cash crops such as corn and wheat. Southern farmers planted cash crops such as cotton, rice, and tobacco

Urbanization Prompted by Industrial Revolution Growth of factories and trade caused the growth of towns and cities Locations of factories depended on the geography of the area Urban = Cities Rural = Country

Five Common Problems of Early Cities Streets and sidewalks unpaved & animals roaming freely

2. Pollution from factories

3. No sewers

4. Diseases easily spread due to poor sanitation

5. Fires spread easily due to close quarters and few fire companies Show video con: living during the industrial revolution

The Census and Population Census – officially counts the population of the U.S. every 10 years The first census occurred in 1790 and the population of the United States was nearly 4 million

The 1790 Census

First Census Most of the population lived east of the Appalachian Mountains and within a few hundred miles of the Atlantic coast By 1820, the population reached 10 million with 2 million living west of the Appalachian Mountains

Thought Spot Look at the population maps from 1820 and 1860. What were the U.S. largest cities in 1820? What were the U.S. largest cities in 1860?

Transportation Because the nation needed good inland roads for travel and for the shipment of goods, private companies built turnpikes or toll roads Fees paid to use these roads were used for construction and upkeep of the roads “Pay to use the road!”

The National Road was approved by Congress in 1806 that connected the east with the west. The first section opened in 1818, connecting Maryland to western Virginia. Years later, it ended in Illinois. The National Road made the migration of people easier.

National Road, 1818-1838

Pros & Cons to River Travel Most rivers ran north & south BUT…most people traveling to the west! Upstream against current slow More comfortable than horse & buggy Get ALL goods on barges & float direction of current

Clipper Ships Moved quickly through waters – “clipped” time off the trip across the Atlantic

The Steamboat Robert Fulton developed the first steamboat in 1807; named “Clermont” Early steamboats easily blew up because there were no regulations on who could run steamboats and the boilers that created steam had no safety valve to stop overheating and slow pressure Show video steam power

Robert Fulton and the Steamboat Steamboat Effects: improved transport goods & people on inland rivers economic productivity (ship goods – faster, easier, cheaper) helped river cities grow – St. Louis The Clermont – 1807

Canals Canal – an artificial (man-made) waterway The first canal was the 363 mile Erie Canal connecting Albany, New York on the Hudson River to Buffalo, New York on Lake Erie. It was completed on October 26, 1825.

Erie Canal – 1825

Canals Continued… Three results of the increase in canals in the U.S. between 1825 and 1850: Canals lowered the cost of shipping goods Brought prosperity (money) to towns along their routes Helped unite the growing country

Issues Caused by Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution led to some issues regarding the powers of the federal government versus those of the states. The Supreme Court stepped in to help settle these issues. Which cases from Unit 4 am I referring to? Video Quiz using notes and vidoes

Americans had strong allegiance to the region of the US they lived in – Westerners, Southerners, or Northerners Leads to problems known as Sectionalism

Sectionalism Disagreements Among North And South Slavery Need for tariffs States’ rights Internal improvements (paying for the improvements in U.S. transportation systems)

Southern Spokesman John C. Calhoun – represented South Carolina said NO to tariffs –it would raise prices of manufactured goods that South had to buy

Northern Spokesman Daniel Webster – represented New Hampshire said YES to tariffs – protect American industries from foreign competition because foreign goods would cost more $ (buy American!)

Henry Clay – represented Kentucky Western Spokesman Henry Clay – represented Kentucky Tried to compromise with both
