  1. DO NOW: Read over p. 306 – 309. Make a Frayer Diagram to show the meaning of the term “Industrial Revolution” Define What changes were brought about because of it? Industrial Revolution Examples (can be drawings) Non-examples (can be drawings)

  2. DO NOW: Recreate the diagram and fill in with information on what changes were brought about by the Industrial Revolution Industrial Revolution

  3. Industrial Revolution U.S. gained wealth, power, and independence Cities grew as people moved to work in factories and mills Changes in the factory system made production cheaper and faster Inventions allowed agriculture to expand

  4. Industrial Revolution • Change from agricultural and home based (cottage industry) production to factories and industry • First began in Great Britain in the mid 1700’s

  5. Three British inventions revolutionized the textile industry • Spinning jenny • Water frame • Power loom

  6. How did British industrial technology make its way to the United States • Samuel Slater worked in factories that used machines for spinning cotton cloth • He memorized the design and came to the U.S. • Industrial espionage

  7. Why was New England ideal for industry? • Poor farming meant people needed to find work elsewhere • Many rushing rivers and streams • Close to resources • Many ports

  8. Video clip?

  9. First textile factories • Samuel Slater opened first spinning mill in 1790 in Connecticut • Francis Cabot Lowell opened the first textile plant in Waltham, Massachusetts in 1814

  10. Factory system • Lowell’s factories included all stages of cloth making under one roof (not the same as assembly line)

  11. Textile Mill The Lowell factory system was designed to bring work and workers together. A typical Lowell textile mill in 1830 housed 4,500 spindles, 120 power looms, and more than 200 employees under one roof. Safari Video on rise of industry This feature can be found on page 307 of your textbook.

  12. Mill Bell Schedule

  13. Eli Whitney • Invented the Cotton Gin – machine that cleans cotton • Developed the idea of interchangeable parts – uniform pieces made in large quantities that can replace other parts

  14. How did the cotton gin and the Industrial Revolution affect cotton production? • 1790-1820 – increased from 3,000 bales to 300,000 bales

  15. Cities begin to grow due to Industry • People needed to live near the factories • Problems with growing cities: • Overcrowding • Unsanitary conditions • Disease • Fire

  16. Other new development… • Transportation advances are also developed in order to move goods to and from factories. • What forms of transportation do you think they will use most? • Rivers/boats • Roads • Canal • Railroad (by 1850’s)

  17. Why do you think most people lived in rural areas? What were some of the largest cities at this time?

  18. Video clip?

  19. Review: Recreate the diagram and fill in with information on how did the rise of industry and trade lead to the growth of cities.

  20. Shopping, libraries, and museums Factory jobs and production Increase in trade and commerce Located near water sources for power
