1 The Industrial Revolution

2 Industrial Revolution The shift, beginning in England during the 18 th century, from making goods by hand to making them by machine. The shift, beginning in England during the 18 th century, from making goods by hand to making them by machine. Began with changes in Began with changes in agriculture (farming) and textiles (cloth goods).

3 Industrial Revolution Began in England because England controlled all necessary factors of production: Began in England because England controlled all necessary factors of production: Land- Space for farms / factories Land- Space for farms / factories Labor- Large population of workers Labor- Large population of workers Capital- Strong economy, resources, and many entrepreneurs Capital- Strong economy, resources, and many entrepreneurs

4 Industrial Revolution England’s Natural Resources: England’s Natural Resources: Coal- Fuel / Power source Coal- Fuel / Power source Iron - Construction material Iron - Construction material Rivers- Fuel / power source / transportation Rivers- Fuel / power source / transportation

10 Industrializing Textiles Machines are built that can spin and weave thread much faster than human hands. Machines are built that can spin and weave thread much faster than human hands. Many of these machines are too big to fit in homes Many of these machines are too big to fit in homes Textile machines are moved to factories Textile machines are moved to factories

11 Industrializing Textiles Spinning Jenny: Spun thread at a rate 8 times faster than a spinning wheel Spinning Jenny: Spun thread at a rate 8 times faster than a spinning wheel Invented in 1764 by James Hargreaves Invented in 1764 by James Hargreaves

38 Positive Effects of Industrialization 1. Growth of cities (urbanization) 2. More jobs available 3. Price of goods decreases 4. Growth of Middle Class 5. Improved transportation 6. Increased education Workers develop needed skills Workers develop needed skills

39 Negative Effects of Industrialization 1. Overcrowding in cities Leads to more sickness / disease Leads to more sickness / disease 2. Poor working conditions Unsafe factories, child labor, dissatisfaction causes push for reforms Unsafe factories, child labor, dissatisfaction causes push for reforms 3. Environmental pollution

40 The river in Chicago was so polluted from the factories, it caught on fire!!!
