a. Explain the impact of the Industrial Revolution as seen in Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin and his development of interchangeable parts for muskets.

3. Industrial Revolution
Refers to a change from hand and home production to machine and factory. The first industrial revolution was important for the inventions of spinning and weaving machines operated by water power which was eventually replaced by steam. This helped increase America’s growth. However, the industrial revolution truly changed American society and economy into a modern urban-industrial state.

5. Impact of Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin and his development of interchangeable parts for muskets (guns)
In 1794, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin which made the separation of cotton seeds from fiber much faster. The South increased its cotton supply sending raw cotton north to be used in the manufacture of cloth. Francis C. Lowell increased the efficiency in the manufacture of cloth by bringing spinning and weaving processes together into one factory. This led to the development of the textile industry throughout New England.

6. The price of tobacco fell in the early 1800’s which caused many to believe that slavery and the plantation based agriculture would soon vanish
Cotton was grown in the South, but the process of removing the seeds was too hard and yielded very little product.

7. The cotton gin Eli Whitney
Made it easier to separate (gin) the seed from short staple cotton bolls

9. The impact of the Cotton Gin on the Amount of Cotton Grown in the South?
It Increased

10. The Slave System
As cotton grew in the South, so did the need for slaves.
In 1790 there were ½ million slaves
In 1860 there were 4 million slaves

13. Eli Whitney came up with the idea to use interchangeable parts in 1798 to make muskets. If standard parts were made by machine, then they could be assembled at the end much more quickly than before. This became an important part of American industry and the Second Industrial Revolution.

15. SSUSH7 Students will explain the process of economic growth, its regional and national impact in the first half of the 19th century, and the different responses to it.
b. Describe the westward growth of the United States; include the emerging concept of Manifest Destiny.

1. Claim land for farming and land speculation
2. Find new markets for manufactured goods and services.

33. Jacksonian Democracy
Led by President Andrew Jackson, this movement championed greater rights for the common man and was opposed to any signs of aristocracy in the nation.

It was also aided by the extension of the vote in eastern states to men without property; in the early days of the United States, many places had allowed only male property owners to vote.
