Change to industrialism
Can I get a volunteer?
How did you feel as an artisan crafting yourproduct?What are the advantages of producingstationery by hand? Disadvantages?What are the advantages of producingstationery by hole-punch? Disadvantages?Overall, is the hole-punch machine animprovement in making stationery? Why or whynot?
What do you see? What are the people doing? How would you describe how they are dressed? How might they feel about their work?
Pre-industrial farming• Farming villages - each
grew enough food to feed itself
• Each family grew enough food to feed themselves
• Land separated into three fields: grain, oats, empty (to regain fertility)
• Fields divided into small strips. Strips evenly divided amongst peasants
• Peasants lived at subsistence level– Owned basic necessities
• Families supplemented income through hunting, fishing, mining, brewing beer
• Advantages to this way of life?
• Disadvantages?
Forces of Change in the 18th century
1. Population growing2. Napoleon’s blockade on England
Blockade prevented imports into England No imports = farmers needing to produce
more food
Improved farming techniques were needed…
What do you see? What’s the benefit of farming all four fields at once instead of leaving fields empty? What might the arrow represent? How might this affect production?
Agricultural Revolution1. Ideas of more efficient land use
A. Enclosure movement– Landlords fenced in
common land – Larger fields = more
output– Less workers = more
profit
2. Improved methods of farmingA. Crop Rotation– Eliminated leaving land
empty– Grew crops that
increased fertilityB. Seed drill– Implanted seeds into
ground deeper and faster– More seeds caught =
increased food
3. New crops from the New World
A. Maize (Indian corn)– Higher yields than grain
B. Potato– Grow many and
anywhere – High in nutrients =
healthier people
Effects of Agricultural Revolution
• New farming techniques increased output • More food available = healthier people (death
rates fell) = POPULATION BOOM!• Growing demand = need for new technology
Why did Britain lead the way?1. Natural resources of coal and iron
a. Used to power and build new technology
2. Abundant amount of labora. Excess labor from enclosure was used to mine
natural resources and run machines
3. New technologya. Invented to meet growing demand for goods
4. Economic stabilitya. Trade overseas produced wealth to invest in new
technology
5. Stable governmenta. Constitutional monarchy (parliament had power
and people had say)
