We looked at how people should live Blah Blah Blah… Democracy

We looked at how people should rule Cake For Everyone!

But how should people work? This Sucks

Pre-Industrial England: A Review c

Subsistence Farming, Common Grazing Land, and the Three Field System!

Life was family based, everybody worked, and many tools and almost all clothes were made at home

The local Parish church was central to village social life and small merchants, artisans, and craftsmen drove a developing cash economy

The Domestic System allowed people (especially women) to do piece based textile manufacturing at home while still setting their own hours and taking care of the home

Driven by the Enclosure Movement, technological and theoretical innovations, and a population boom, the Agricultural Revolution took place.

New World Crops and the Agricultural Revolution resulted in a 1/3 increase in production which in turn drove an even larger population boom.

As the population grew, so did the demand for land and employment. The population grew faster than available work and so many people in the 1700s and early 1800s were unemployed.

The Industrial Revolution Arrives in Britain

I. The Factory System A. New machines are created to meet increased demand for textiles Flying Shuttle

I. The Factory System A. New machines are created to meet increased demand for textiles Spinning Jenny

I. The Factory System A. New machines are created to meet increased demand for textiles Water Frame

I. The Factory System A. New machines are created to meet increased demand for textiles Spinning Mule

I. The Factory System A. New machines are created to meet increased demand for textiles Power Loom

B. Factories built to house these new machines I. The Factory System

C. Power Sources 1. Early factories used animals (horse, mule, etc.) and water for power

I. The Factory System 2. Later, coal was used for fuel for new machines; iron was used to make machines

I. The Factory System D. Steam Engine (if this is super confusing, don’t panic the video will make it more clear) 1. Machine fueled by coal, which heated water to produce steam 2. Steam is forced through chambers at varying pressure 3. Steam moves pistons in chambers to create rotational power 4. Engine allowed for easier mining of coal and iron which led to a mining boom 5. Steam engine also increased textile production (Spinning Mill powered by Steam Engines) (Spinning Mill powered by Steam Engines)

I. The Factory System E. Blast Furnace – allowed for cheap production of iron using cheap coal (carbon in the iron makes it brittle) instead of expensive timber, which led to a building and mining boom If this picture is a little confusing, there is a video to explain it all!

II. Transportation Improved

A. Greater production created a need for better transportation systems to move goods B. Paved roads, canals, and railroads built to transport goods (and later people) The “Rocket”

III. Six Reasons Britain Led Industrialization

A.Agricultural Revolution/Population Boom: increased population created by the agricultural Revolution led to a mobile, unemployed, and available workforce III. Six Reasons Britain Led Industrialization

B. Geography: had many natural resources (iron, coal) and many rivers III. Six Reasons Britain Led Industrialization

C. Political Stability: government encouraged business development and urbanization III. Six Reasons Britain Led Industrialization

D. Economics: booming economy conducive to trade and investing in new ideas III. Six Reasons Britain Led Industrialization

E. Colonization: colonies provided raw materials and a market for manufactured goods III. Six Reasons Britain Led Industrialization
