1. Industrial Revolution

2. Industrial Revolution
Manufacturing of the 18th century
Hand tools & small- scale manufacturing
Agriculture centered economy
Pushed by Democratic- Republicans
Technology improvement creates a shift toward large- scale production

3. Free Enterprise & Factories
Workers and machines together under one roof
Water frame:
Power machines in factories
Samuel Slater
1st successful water- powered textile mill
People leave farms to work in factories for wages on a set schedule
Factory in Massachusetts

6. Free Enterprise and Factories
New England was ideal for factories
Built factories near water for power source
Land not beneficial for farming
Poor, rocky soil
People willing to work in factories
Fast flowing rivers
Near Atlantic Ocean

7. Free Enterprise and Factories
Competition, profit, private property, & economic freedom
Allows for competition
Minimum government interference
Many people invested in industry during the War of 1812
Businessmen built factories and grew wealthy

8. Impact on Cities Industrial cities grew the quickest
Most on rivers
Needed water power
New England had many fast- flowing rivers
City Disadvantages:
Waste disposal was an issue
Threat of disease
Fires were a constant threat
Overcrowded living conditions
City Advantages:
Libraries, museums, shops
Jobs & attractions outweighed the dangers

10. Technology Revolution
Spinning jenny:
Produces many spools of yarn
Power loom:
Weave & press thread into cloth
Advances made it possible for any unskilled workers to produce cloth
Patent Law:
Passed to protect rights of inventors

11. Lowell Mills Francis Cabot Lowell built a factory in Massachusetts
Picture of the Lowell Mills
Figured out how to work power looms in England (stole the technology like Samuel Slater)
So successful he built a factory town called Lowell

14. Technology Innovations
Factories did many tasks in one place
Increase efficiency
Interchangeable parts
Each part of a manufactured item was exactly alike
Reduced prices
Became the industry standard
The first picture is an exploded view of the type of guns that Whitney first designed using his interchangeable parts process. The second picture is an exploded view of an LCD tv. The last picture to come up through animation is a Nintendo 3DS.

15. Transportation Revolution
Roads built to connect cities
States charged tolls or fees to drive wagons on the streets of crushed stone
Robert Fulton:
Builds a steam boat
Commercially transport people up the Hudson River in 32 hours
Using only sails would take 4 days
A new age of river travel
Shipping goods & moving people became cheaper and faster
Canals built for trade
Erie Canal
