"Revolutions of Industry" Notes Part I: IR Begins in Britain
WHAP - Mr. Duez "Revolutions of Industry" Notes Part I: IR Begins in Britain
11
The Industrial Revolution was an increase in production brought on by the use of machines & characterized by the use of new energy sources. It saw a shift from an economy based on farming & handicrafts to an economy based on manufacturing by machines & industrial factories. Before I.R. about 80% of people were involved in farming as a way of living. After the I.R. only about 1% (in U.S.). At first, working conditions were severe & could often result in injury or even death in the workplace. Children worked in factories, especially textile mills. Early conflicts between workers & employers produced positive effects for workers in modern society. I.R. replaced many handcrafted items w/mass produced items

15
1. What was the Industrial Revolution?
16
1.) What was the Industrial Revolution?
An increased output of machine-made goods that began in England during the 18th-century
17
Pre-Industrial Revolution
Village life dominated – families were nearly self-sufficient Most villagers were farmers
18
Making Cloth Before Machines
Cottage Industry Slow process Business involving people who worked at home
19
2.) Define an enclosure.
20
The Enclosure Movement
The process of taking over and consolidating land formerly shared by peasant farmers Landowners gained: More land for pastures Larger fields for crops Laborers lost: Forced off their lands Moved to growing cities
21
Land Enclosure in England
22
2.) Define an enclosure. Land that wealthy landowners bought from village farmers. The land was then enclosed with fences or hedges and experimentation with new harvesting methods.
23
The Beginnings of Industrialization
Rotating Crops Crop rotation – switching crops each year to avoid soil depletion Selective Breeding – Livestock breeders allow only the best to breed, improve the food supply
24
Selective Breeding Year Sheep (lbs) Cattle (lbs) 1710 28 370 1795 80
Some livestock experts, such as Robert Bakewell, introduced selective breeding programs to improve the quality of the animals. Bakewell crossed different breeds of cattle and sheep to select their best characteristics Year Sheep (lbs) Cattle (lbs) 1710 28 370 1795 80 800
25
Rapid Population Growth
Population of Britain in 1750 6 million Population of Britain in 1851 21 million Population of London in 1750 500,000 Population of London in 1851 3 million Families in agriculture in 1750 80% of population Families in agriculture in 1851 25% of population
26
Enclosure One thing Led to Another
Farmers gained pasture land for animals Raised more sheep Wool output increased Larger fields Able to cultivate product more efficiently Farm out-put increased Profits rose
27
Push Factors: Where did all the people go?
Fewer worker needed on the lands Farmers forced off their lands Small owners could not compete Villages shrank Cities grew – and GREW!! Over London by Rail Gustave Doré c Shows the densely populated and polluted environments created in the new industrial cities
28
Industrial Revolution Spreads to Europe and the United States
29
3.) What were some results of the agricultural revolution?
30
3.) What were some results of the agricultural revolution?
Many small farmers became tenant farmers or moved to cities. Enclosures became landmarks of wealthy landowners Experimentation with new agricultural methods. It increased food supplies. It led to population growth.
32
4.) What were the three factors of production required to drive the industrial revolution?
33
4.) What were the three factors of production required to drive the industrial revolution?
land, labor, capital
34
5.) List four factors that contributed to industrialization in Britain.
35
5.) List four factors that contributed to industrialization in Britain.
1.) Large population of workers 2.) Extensive natural resources (coal, access to waterways, iron ore, harbors for trading) 3.) Economic prosperity (business people made investments into new inventions, highly developed banking system, growing overseas trade, climate of progress) 4.) Political stability (laws encouraged and protected business ventures, several military successes boosted morale)
36
1.) Stable Government 2.) Natural Resources 3.) Labor Supply
5.) List four factors that contributed to industrialization in Britain. 1.) Stable Government No wars--- several military successes gave the British a positive attitude Parliament passed laws to encourage and protect business ventures Had capital (money) to invest in businesses Had overseas markets (colonial empire) 2.) Natural Resources Coal (energy for machines) Iron ore (for tools) Large network of rivers to move products 3.) Labor Supply Growing population Ready workforce 4.) Economic Prosperity Business people made investments into new inventions Highly developed banking system Growing overseas trade Climate of progress
37
Iron Ore Hematite: the main iron ore in Brazilian mines

6.) How did rising population help the I.R.?
39
6.) How did rising population help the I.R.?
More people provided a larger workforce.
40
7.) Which were the most important inventions of the I.R.?
41
7.) Which were the most important inventions of the I.R.?
Flying shuttle Spinning jenny Water frame Spinning mule Cotton gin Steam engine Steam boat Railroad locomotive
42
Flying Shuttle In 1733, John Kay invented the flying shuttle, an improvement to looms that enabled weavers to weave faster. The original shuttle contained a bobbin on to which the weft yarn was wound. It was normally pushed from one side of the fabric to the other side by hand. Large looms needed two weavers to throw the shuttle. The flying shuttle was thrown by a leaver that could be operated by one weaver.
43
Spinning Jenny: 1764 Invented by James Hargreaves
At the time, cotton production could not keep up with demand This machine spun many threads at the same time, thus reducing the amount of work needed to produce yarn (increased productivity = produced yarn quickly)
44
Water Frame Richard Arkwright patented the spinning frame or water frame that could produce stronger threads for yarns. The first models were powered by waterwheels so the device came to be first known as the water frame.
45
Spinning Mule In 1779, Samuel Crompton invented the spinning mule that combined the moving carriage of the spinning jenny with the rollers of the water frame. The spinning mule gave the spinner great control over the weaving process. Spinners could now make many different types of yarn. Finer cloths could now be made.
46
Power loom A power loom is a mechanized loom powered by a line shaft. The first power loom was designed in 1784 by Edmund Cartwright and first built in 1785.
47
Factories
48
Cotton Gin: 1793 Invented by Eli Whitney to mechanize the cleaning of cotton A machine that quickly and easily separates the cotton fibers from the seeds, a job previously done by hand Led to the demand for more slaves
50
Textile Factory Workers in England
1813 2400 looms 150, 000 workers 1833 85, 000 looms 200, 000 workers 1850 224, 000 looms 1 million workers
51
Growth of Industry Growth of factories
As demand for cloth grew, inventors came up with new machines (e.g., flying shuttle, spinning jenny) To house these new machines, manufacturers built the first factories New machines and factories increased production By the 1850s, factories began to be powered by coal and steam engines
52
8.) What impact did technological advances have on industry?
53
8.) What impact did technological advances have on industry?
Production of goods was increased.
54
Technology The Industrial Revolution was built on rapid advances in technology Which of these three inventions most changed the way that raw materials, goods, and people moved?
55
Modern Steam Engine: 1763-1775 Improved by James Watt
Offered a dramatic increase in fuel efficiency Could be used to drive many different types of machinery (by the 1850s, most factories were powered by the steam engine) Increased the demand for coal to heat the water to produce steam (and the need for coal miners)
56
The Impact of the Railroad
Transportation innovation that most changed the way raw materials, goods, and people moved Allowed communication and trade between places previously deemed too far
57
9.) What were the four benefits of the railroad in Britain?
58
9.) What were the four benefits of the railroad in Britain?
1.) Cheap way to transport goods 2.) Thousands of jobs for railroad and miners 3.) Railroads boosted agricultural/fishing industries 4.) Villagers were encouraged to take distant city jobs 19:32

Make a chart listing the Pros and Cons of the I.R.
64
Industrial Revolution Spreads to Europe and the United States
65
Life in Factory Towns Rapid Population Growth Cramped Tenements
Poor Sanitation Pollution
66
Housing Tenement = a substandard, multi-family dwelling, usually old and occupied by the poor Built cheaply Multiple stories No running water No toilet Sewer down the middle of street Trash thrown out into street Crowded (5+ people living in one room) Breeding grounds for diseases Pollution from factory smoke
67
Child Labor Young children Long hours Poor treatment
Dangerous conditions
68
Young women in the textile mills of Massachusetts died at an average age of 26, constantly inhaling cotton dust, working long hours in unventilated rooms lit by oil lamps
70
Factories and Factory Towns
Where employees worked Major change from cottage industry Had to leave home to work (travel to cities) Working in a factory No safety codes = dangerous work for all Poor factory conditions (e.g., no heat or a/c, dirty, smelly, cramped) Long workdays (12-14 hours) Little pay (men compete with women and children for wages) Child labor = kept costs of production low and profits high Mind-numbing monotony (doing the same thing all day every day) Owners of mines and factories exercised control over lives of laborers Life in factory towns Towns grew up around factories and coal mines Pollution, poor sanitation, no health codes = sickness Rapid population growth Poor lived in crowded tiny rooms in tenements (multistory buildings divided into apartments)
71
Migration to Cities Urbanization
Urbanization: the movement of people to cities Changes in farming, soaring population, and an increase in demand for workers led people to move from farms to the cities to work in factories Small towns near natural resources and cities near factories boomed instantly Urbanization
72
1.) How did the I.R. affect cities?

82
6.) Make a chart listing the Pros and Cons of the I.R.
83
6.) Make a chart listing the Pros and Cons of the I.R.
creation of middle class exploitation of workers creation of jobs harsh working conditions increase in country's wealth urbanization led to poor housing conditions (overpopulated cities) improvements in diet, housing, education pollution Workers will eventually win high wages, shorter hours, better conditions
84
Negative Effects: Labor Practices & Housing Issues
Labor unrest leads to demonstrations (sometimes violent) Strikes take place Women were paid less than men (were actually preferred) Tenement housing was poorly constructed, crowded, and cold Human and industrial waste contaminated water supplies – typhoid and cholera spread
85
Positive Effects Increased world productivity
Growth of railroads (faster and more efficient transportation of goods and people) New entrepreneurs emerged (more money = more technology/inventions) New inventions improved quality of life for many Labor eventually organized (unions) to improve working conditions Laws were enacted to enforce health and safety codes in cities and factories New opportunities for women Rise of the middle class – size, power, and wealth expanded Social structure becomes more flexible
86
How did industrialization change the way of life?
Large gaps between the rich and the poor Changes brought by industrialization Size ↑ Class Tensions Cities Factories Working Conditions The rise of the middle class Living Conditions No safety codes Sickness Long hours, Little pay Dangerous conditions
87
World Clock
88
Negative Effects: Factory Life
Child labor used in factories & mines Miserable (dirty, cramped) and dangerous (fingers, limbs, & lives lost) working conditions Monotonous work with heavy, noisy, repetitive machinery Long working hours – six days a week, with little pay Rigid schedules ruled each day Gas, candle & oil lamps created soot and smoke in factories Diseases such as pneumonia & tuberculosis spread through factories
89
Negative Effects: Worldwide
Air pollution increased over cities and industrial areas Technological changes eroded the balance of power in Europe Contributed to the growth of imperialism and communism (Marx’s & Engels’ theories) Produced weaponry that gave Western nations a military advantage over developing nations

96
Industrialization in United States
Britain forbids engineers to leave 1789 Samuel Slater immigrates to U.S. “Around here, Samuel Slater is seen as the visionary who launched the American Industrial Revolution. But across the pond, as we say now, in the Town of Belper, England, where Slater was born, he once had a different distinction: “Slater the Traitor.”” English Factory Worker Samuel Slater has been called the "father of the American factory system."

117
1.) What is the laissez-faire policy?
118
1.) What is the laissez-faire policy? Who wrote a “Wealth of Nations”?
a policy that let owners of industry set working conditions without government interference "hands off” Adam Smith
119
The Philosophers of Industrialization
Laissez-faire Economics/basis of Capitalism Laissez faire—economic policy of government not interfering with businesses Originates with Enlightenment economic philosophers Adam Smith—defender of free markets, author of The Wealth of Nations Believes economic liberty guarantees economic progress; help the economy grow Economic natural laws—self-interest, competition, supply and demand Opposed laws to protect workers
120
Laissez fair philosophers believe
That government should resist the idea of helping poor workers Passing laws would upset the free market system and result in less wealth!
122

123
2. Define capitalism.
124
2. Define capitalism. What are the 3 natural laws of economics?
an economic system in which the factors of production are privately owned and money is invested in business ventures to make a profit. 1- law of self interest-people work for their own good 2- law of competition- competition forces people to make a better product 3-law of supply of demand- enough goods would be produced at the lowest possible price to meet demand in a market economy
125
Capitalism Economic system in which the means of production are privately owned and operated for a private profit Free-market economy: decisions regarding supply, demand, price, distribution, and investments are made by private actors Profit goes to owners who invest in the business
126
3. Define socialism.
127
3. Define socialism. An economic system in which the factors of production are owned by the public and operate for the welfare of all.
128
The Rise of Socialism Socialism Socialism—factors of production owned by, operated for the people, by the people Socialists think government control can end poverty, bring equality All can benefit from increased production, not just a few
129
The Socialists: Utopians & Marxists
People as a society would operate and own the means of production, not individuals Their goal was a society that benefited everyone, not just a rich, well-connected few Tried to build perfect communities [utopias]
130
4.) How does Karl Marx describe communism?
131
Marxism/Communism Marxism’s Prophets
Karl Marx—German journalist proposes a radical socialism, Marxism Friedrich Engels—German whose father owns a Manchester textile mill The Communist Manifesto Communism is an extreme form of socialism Marx and Engels believe society is divided into warring classes; Revolution will occur Capitalism helps “haves,” the employers known as the bourgeoisie Hurts “have-nots,” the workers known as the proletariat Marx, Engels predict the workers will overthrow the owners
132
Conditions in Factories
Dangerous Machinery Monotony Dirty Cramped spaces
133
Stereotype of the Factory Owner
134
Feudalism
135
Large Gaps between Rich & Poor
The “HAVE-NOTS” The Poor, The Over-Worked, and the Destitute The “HAVES” Bourgeois Life Thrived on the Luxuries of the Industrial Revolution
136
“Upstairs”/“Downstairs” Life
137
4.) How does Karl Marx describe communism?
Communism is a form of complete socialism in which people own all production and property – all land mines, factories, railroads, and businesses would be owned by the people. Private property would cease to exist “Dictatorship of the proletariat”-after a period of cooperative living and education the state or government would wither away as a classless society develops.
138
5.) What were the long-term effects of Marx and Engels's The Communist Manifesto?
139
continued Marxism: Radical Socialism
The Future According to Marx Marx believes that capitalism will eventually destroy itself Inequality would cause workers to revolt, seize factories and mills Communism—society where people own, share the means of production Marx’s ideas later take root in Russia, China, Cuba Time has shown that society not controlled by economic forces alone
140
Karl Marx: Communism Wrote: The Communist Manifesto, 1848
A response to the injustices of capitalism; argued that capitalism would produce internal tensions which would lead to its destruction Communism = a political philosophy that aims for a classless and stateless society structured upon common ownership of the means of production and an end to private property “Class struggle between employers and employees is inevitable. Instead of capitalism with its emphasis on greediness and selfishness, the new society ruled by the proletariat (working class) will ensure social, economic, and political equality for everyone.”
141
5.) What were the long-term effects of Marx and Engels's The Communist Manifesto?
In the 1900's Marxism inspired revolutionaries such as Russia's Lenin, China’s Mao Zedong, and Cuba’s Fidel Castro (adapted Marx’s beliefs to their own specific needs and situation) Time has shown that economic forces alone do not dominate society. Religion, nationalism, ethnic loyalties also play a role The gap btw. rich and poor did not widen as Marx predicted—mostly bc. of the various reforms enacted by gov’t
142
6.) What is the name for the voluntary associations of workers seeking labor reforms?
143
6.) What is the name for the voluntary associations of workers seeking labor reforms?
Unions
