  1. THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 1750-1914 THE DOMESTIC SYSTEM TO THE FACTORY SYSTEM

  2. AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION PREDECESSOR TO THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: CHANGES IN THEORY AND MACHINERY.

  3. AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION

  4. NEW CROPS CHARLES TOWNSHEND – CROP ROTATION COMPLIMENTARY CROPS (CLOVER &TURNIPS – WHEAT & BARLEY) JETHRO TULL – SEED DRILL IRON PLOWS MECHANICAL REAPERS AND THRESHERS ENCLOSURE MOVEMENT AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION

  5. AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION: THE ENCLOSURE MOVEMENT • THE FENCING OFF OF PUBLIC LANDS BY LANDOWNERS (1700’S). • AGRICULTURE BECAME MORE EFFICIENT. • EXPERIMENTATION WITH NEW CROPS. • FEWER FARM WORKERS NEEDED.

  6. AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION THE ENCLOSURE MOVEMENT: RESULTS • MORE FOOD, BETTER DIET, IMPROVED HEALTH • RAPID POPULATION GROWTH • INCREASED DEMAND FOR MANUFACTURED GOODS • UNEMPLOYED FARMERS = LARGE NEW LABOR FORCE

  7. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION • DOMESTIC SYSTEM (COTTAGE INDUSTRY) • WOOL/COTTON CLOTH MANUFACTURED IN THE HOME. • ENTREPRENEURS DELIVERED RAW MATERIALS. • FAMILIES CLEANED RAW MATERIAL, SPUN THREAD AND WOVE CLOTH. • THIS SYSTEM COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH DEMAND.

  8. JOHN KAY FLYING SHUTTLE 1733 SPED UP WEAVING PROCESS WEAVERS USE THREAD FASTER THAN SPINNERS COULD PRODUCE IT JAMES HARGREAVES SPINNING JENNY 1764 SPED UP THE SPINNING PROCESS A PERSON COULD SPIN SEVERAL THREADS AT ONCE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION MECHANICAL INVENTIONS

  9. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONFLYING SHUTTLE

  10. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SPINNING JENNY

  11. RICHARD ARKWRIGHT WATER FRAME 1769 100 SPINDLES DRIVEN BY WATER POWER INCREASED THREAD PRODUCTION SAMUEL CROMPTON SPINNING MULE 1779 USED FEATURES OF THE SPINNING JENNY AND THE WATER FRAME INCREASED THREAD PRODUCTION INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION MECHANICAL INVENTIONS

  12. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION WATER FRAME

  13. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SPINNING MULE

  14. EDWARD CARTWRIGHT POWER LOOM 1785 LOOM IN WHICH THE WEAVING ACTION WAS POWERED BY WATER A WORKER COULD PRODUCE 200 TIMES MORE CLOTH IN A DAY ELI WHITNEY COTTON GIN 1793 MACHINE THAT TORE FIBERS FROM SEEDS TO CLEAN THE RAW COTTON SPED UP THE PROCESS OF CLEANING COTTON FIBER INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION MECHANICAL INVENTIONS

  15. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION POWER LOOM

  16. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION COTTON GIN

  17. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION FACTORY SYSTEM • WORKERS AND MACHINES BROUGHT TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE • INVESTORS BUILT LARGE BUILDINGS TO HOUSE MACHINES • WORKERS HAD A SET NUMBER OF HOURS TO WORK • WORKERS WERE PAID DAILY OR WEEKLY WAGES

  18. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION THE STEAM ENGINE

  19. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION THE STEAM ENGINE • 1698-THOMAS SAVERY-STEAM DRIVEN PUMP-REMOVE WATER FROM FLOODED COAL MINES • EARLY 1700’S-THOMAS NEWCOMEN –SAFER STEAM POWERED PUMP • 1760’S-JAMES WATT-IMPROVED NEWCOMEN ENGINE, PRODUCED 4 TIMES THE POWER AND STEAM BECAME AN EFFICENT POWER SOURCE

  20. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION COAL AND IRON • EARLY 1700’S-ABRAHAM DARBY-DEVELOPED A WAY TO USE A FORM OF COAL, INSTEAD OF CHARCOAL, TO SMELT THE IRON. IRON IS BETTER QUALITY AND CHEAPER TO PRODUCE • DARBY MADE IRON • 1850’S-HENRY BESSEMER-’PROCESS’ CREATED STRONGER, CHEAPER STEEL

  21. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION TRANSPORTATION & COMMUNICATION • CANAL-1759-DUKE OF BRIDGEWATER • ROAD SURFACE-1700’S-JOHN MCADAM • RAILROAD-1829-GEORGE STEPHENSON ‘ROCKET’ TRAVELED AT 36 MPH! BETWEEN 1850 AND 1860 BRITAIN BUILT OVER 5000 MILES OF RAILROAD TRACK • STEAMSHIP-1807-ROBERT FULTON • TELEGRAPH-1837-SAMUEL F.B. MORSE • INEXPENSIVE POSTAL SYSTEM IN BRITAIN

  22. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION LOCOMOTIVE & STEAMSHIP Why were railroads improvements over canals?

  23. AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION = MORE FOOD AVAILABLE LABOR POOL PLENTY OF COAL & IRON EXCELLENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MERCHANT TRADITION CAPITAL FOR INVESTMENT LARGE COLONIAL EMPIRE FOR RAW MATERIALS COLONIAL EMPIRE WAS A MARKET FOR FINISHED GOODS WHY DID BRITAIN LEAD THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION?

  24. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION BRITAIN’S REIGN AS A WORLD POWER BEGINS
