  6. Agricultural Revolution • Started in 1780s- 5 factors: • Agricultural Revolution- • Increase in food supply- expansion of farmland, good weather, improved transportation, new crops • Lower price in food with less labor • Could buy manufactured goods • Machines replaced human labor

  7. Population grew • Urbanization – Movement of people to cities • Peasants moved to towns • Capital • Ready supply of money • Invested in new machines and factories • Entrepreneurs – people who start their own business

  8. Natural resources • Rivers= water power for factories and transportation of raw materials • Coal and iron ore • Supply of markets • Colonies • Ship goods • Domestic markets increased • Tenement Buildings - Apartments

  9. A. Cotton Production and New Factories • Cottage industry- tasks done by individuals in rural homes • Inexpensive way to manufacture cloth goods

  10. Inventions made cottage industry inefficient • Spinning jenny- faster thread production • Water-powered loom- faster weaving of cloth • Steam engine- faster machines

  11. Water-powered loom Spinning jenny Steam engine

  12. B. Coal, Iron, and Railroads • Steam engine- crucial to the IR and relied on coal

  13. Railroads- locomotives used to transport more goods quickly • New jobs created • Less expensive transportation  lower-priced goods  larger markets • More sales  more demand  more need for factories and machines • Regular, ongoing economic growth is the basic feature of the industrial economy

  14. What was the significance of the Agricultural Revolution in Great Britain? • Why did the Industrial Revolution start in Great Britain?

  15. II. The Spread of Industrialization • What factors fed the spread of industrialization in Europe and North America?

  18. IR reaches America in the first half of the 19th century • Increase in population  increase in cities • Good transportation system created • Roads, canals, and steamboats to connect east and west • Railroad- most important development in American transportation; continental U.S.

  27. Role of women and children • 2/3 of cotton industry workforce • Factory Act of 1833- minimum age at 9 and limited work hours for children • After 1833- women 50% of workforce in textile factories, paid ½ or less than men • After change in work hours- women took daily care of children and worked low-paying jobs at home while men became income earners
