Industrial Revolution begins

in Britain as factories start to

replace hand tools

Samuel Slater builds first American

spinning mill & uses children as

labor

Spinning mill owners begin to

use entire families for labor

Eli Whitney demonstrates the

use of interchangeable

parts

Francis Cabot Lowell builds a

factory that spins yarn & weaves

cloth from it

Factories begin to replace water

power with steam engines

Early inventions change the way Americans do things

Threshing Machine

Brought workers, machines, & resources underone roof – transforms work.

Parts are the same so assembly is faster

Make travel upstream faster, easier

Stronger, cuts better, faster.

Cuts grain and makes harvesting faster

Separates grain from stalk – harvesting is faster

Communication is almost instant, links the nation

American Industrial Revolution

• Economic change in America (farming to manufacturing)

• Factory machines replaced hand tools

• Large scale manufacturing replaced farming as the main form of work.

Factory System

• Production system that brought workers & machines under one roof• Built near a source of water power• eventually used steam power• Workers left farms & moved to cities• Work for wages•First factories were in New England

System”)
