Why did the Industrial Revolution in the U.S. get started in New England?
The Industrial Revolution first appeared in New England because of it’s geography. First, New England’s soil was poor, and it’s cooler climate made farming difficult. Therefore, people were willing to leave their farms to find work elsewhere. Further, New England had many fine rivers and streams that provided the waterpower needed to run the machinery in factories. Lastly, New England had many shipping ports for the transportation of cotton and cloth bound for markets throughout America.
