THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

CHAPTER 25The Industrial Revolution, 1700–1900 The Industrial Revolution begins in Britain, spreads to

other countries, and has a strong impact on economics, politics, and society.

Rail locomotives began connecting U.S. cities in the 1840s, enabling transport of goods between factories, cities, and ports.

Chapter 25 SECTION 1 –

The Beginnings of Industrialization

The Industrial Revolution starts in Englandand soon spreads to other countries.

AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION

New Ways of Working Industrial Revolution — greatly increases output of

machine-made goods; begins in Britain in1700sRevolution begins in England (Britain) in the middle 1700s

The Agricultural Revolution Paves the WayEnclosures — large farm fields enclosed by fences or

hedges Wealthy landowners buy, enclose land once owned by

village farmersSmall land farmers were forced off their land and forced to

work as tenant farmers WRITE THIS

AGChanges

Rotating CropsCrop rotation — switching crops each year to

avoid depleting the soilLivestock breeders allow only the best to breed,

improve food supplySoon the well-fed population of Britain ballooned

and demand for goods, such as cloth, would increase

Enclosures allow experimentation with new agricultural methods

WHY BRITAIN?Why was Britain able to Industrialize?

Industrialization — move to machine production of goods

Britain has natural resources — coal, iron, rivers, harbors Water and coal powered new machines Iron was used to construct tools, machines, buildings Rivers for inland transportation Britain also had the businesspeople to invest in these

Britain also had the needed factors of production — land, labor, capital WRITE

Difference between a

Weaver & Spinner?Typically, a spinner turns cotton into thread and a weaver turns thread into the finished cloth.

IMPORTANT INVENTIONS

The Flying Shuttle; John Kay; 1733 Carried threads of yarn back and forth faster for the

weaver to create cloth New Problem: Spinners could not keep pace with

WeaversSpinning Jenny; James Hargreaves; 1764

Worker can spin 8 threads at a timeRichard Arkwright invents the water frame in 1769

Factories are created on rivers to use river current to power machines

INVENTIONS SPUR FACTORIES

Changes in the Textile Industry Weavers work faster with flying

shuttles and spinning jennies Water frame uses water power to

drive spinning wheels Power loom, spinning mule speed

up production, improve quality Factories — buildings that contain

machinery for manufacturing Cotton gin boosts American cotton

production to meet British demand https://

TRANSPORTATIONWatt’s Steam Engine

Need for cheap, convenient power spurs development of steam engine James Watt improves steam engine, financed by Matthew Boulton Boulton an entrepreneur — organizes, manages, takes business risks

Water TransportationRobert Fulton builds first steamboat, the Clermont, in 1807 England’s water transport improved by system of canals

Road Transportation British roads are improved; companies operate them as toll roads

THE RAILWAY AGESteam-Driven Locomotives

In 1804, Richard Trevithick builds first steam-driven locomotive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLJaboxC3Do

Transportation

Revolution

The Liverpool-Manchester Railroad Entrepreneurs build railroad from Liverpool to Manchester Stephenson’s Rocket acknowledged as best locomotive (1829)

Railroads Revolutionize Life in Britain Railroads spur industrial growth, create jobs Cheaper transportation boosts many industries; people move to

cities
