8. Section 1Economic Growth Colonial Era -workers in short supply - Americans developed tools - tools made work easier - mid 1700’s ways began to change -changes appeared in Europe first - British inventors created machines that did some of the work involved in making cloth that ran on waterpower - British cloth makers built mills along rivers and installed machines in these mills -people left homes and farms to work in these mills and earn money. The Industrial Revolution began to emerge 1st in New England Why New England? Poor soil-farming difficult People willing to work elsewhere Had many rushing rivers Close to resources such as coal & ironfrom nearby Pennsylvania Had many ports

10. SSSHHHH!It’s a Secret Samuel Slater Slater memorized the memorized the design of Richard Arkwright’s machines. Once in the United States he managed a cotton mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. There he duplicated the machines that turned cotton into thread. Slater’s mill marked an important step in the Industrial Revolution. The British tried to keep their technology a secret. Laws were passed to keep mechanics from leaving the country. Samuel Slater slipped out of the country.

11. Francis Cabot Lowell Factory System: Another important part of the Industrial Revolution. All manufacturing steps were brought together in one place. It increased efficiency! Opened a textile plant in Waltham, Massachusetts. Factory System was launched.

12. Agriculture Expands Economic Independence Most new industries were financed by small investors. merchants/shopkeepers/farmers What motivated them? profits, low taxes, few government regulations & competition. More than 65 % of Americans were farmers. Agriculture expanded as the demand for cotton grew. Cotton gin encouraged the planters to raise larger crops.

14. Chapter 10 - Section 2 WestwardBound

15. Moving West Key Words census- official count of population. turnpike- toll roads canal- artificial waterway lock- separate compartments where water levels were raised or lowered that provided a way to raise or lower boats at places where canal levels changed. The huge amount of territory added to the United States during the early 1800’s gave the country a large store of natural resources and provided land for more settlers. Objectives: Explain how transportation improved in the early 1800’s Understand how Western settlements affected the nation’s economy and politics.

16. Steam Engines Moving West -census was taken in 1790 - population of nearly 4 million. - Most lived east of Appalachian Mountains. Roads 30 years later the population was about 10 million. To make travel easier- private companies built turnpikes. Rivers Travel by river was more comfortable. Robert Livingston hired Robert Fulton to develop a steamboat with a powerful engine. Livingston wanted the steamboat to carry cargo and passengers up the Hudson River from New York City to Albany. In 1807 Fulton had his steamboat, the Clermont, ready for a trial. Steamboats ushered in a new age in river travel.

17. The East & the Midwest Were Joined The Erie Canal The Erie Canal opened on October 26, 1825. De Witt Clinton came up with a plan to link New York City with the Great Lakes. It took 2 years to create this artificial waterway across New York State, connecting Albany on the Hudson River with Buffalo on Lake Erie. Steamboats were not allowed on the canal. Teams of mules or horses hauled the boats and barges. A two-horse team pulled a 100 ton barge about 24 miles in one day. The Erie Canal led to an explosion in canal building. By 1850 the US had more than 3,600 miles of canals. Canals lowered cost of shipping goods, brought prosperity to towns and helped unite the growing country.

18. Paul Bunyan & John Henry Western Settlement Wave 1- 1791-1803 Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee & Ohio were admitted. Wave 2- 1816-1821 5 new western states were created.

19. As the nation grew, difference in economic activities and needs increased sectionalism. Section 3 Unity and Sectionalism The absence of major political divisions after the War of 1812 helped forge a sense of national unity. James Monroe won the presidential election of 1816.
