What were some positives and negatives in the beginning of the Industrial Revolution?
Recap
What was the Agricultural Revolution? Why was England able to start the
Industrial Revolution? Why did other countries lag behind? What are the 3 factors of production?
Industrialization in the United States
Industrialization in the US began in the textile industry as well.
Britain tried to prevent other countries from learning the secrets of its machines and banned its engineers and mechanics from leaving the country.
Industrialization in the United States
American industrialization began when a British worker assembled a machine in the US. In 1813, Francis Cabot Lowell mechanized (put machines into) every step of the textile process and basically built two towns in Massachusetts around his mills. Lowell hired thousands of girls, who worked 12 hours a
day, 6 days a week, and lived by strict rules. They did earn more money than at home, and sometimes a
decent alternative to being a servant.
Other aspects of the clothing industry and shoe industry industrialized as well.
Industrialization in the United States
Cotton mill in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Later Expansion of US Industry
It was not until after the US Civil War (1861-1865) that the United States fully industrialized. It experienced a tremendous boom due to:
Natural resources such as coal, oil, and iron Inventions such as the electric light bulb A growing urban population that bought new
manufactured goods. Railroads also helped this boom by transporting people and
goods, and causing cities like Minneapolis and Chicago to grow.
Railroads themselves grew into huge businesses and shipped grain and goods across the US.
The Rise of Corporations
Building large companies required a great deal of money that was raised by issuing stock in the company. Stocks are shares of ownership in the corporation
and entitle the stockholder to a percentage of the profits or worth of the company.
Businesses that issued stocks became known as corporations, or businesses that exist as separate entities from the owners.
In the US, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie caused their companies to grow to huge proportions and earned incredible wealth.
Continental Europe Industrializes
The Napoleonic Wars between 1789 and 1815 had set the rest of Europe back a lot. Rulers wanted to catch up to England’s
progress because they knew industry meant power.
Beginnings in Belgium
Belgium possessed natural resources, and waterways for transportation.
A British mill worker smuggled industrial technology to Belgium just as one had done that came to the US.
Germany Industrializes
Germany, which had spots of resources, developed spots of industrialization.
They also imported their engineers from Britain and sent German children to England to be educated.
Railroads were built to link Germany’s industries as well. As German industry grew, the German military also
gained power.
Expansion Elsewhere in Europe
Some countries, such as Spain, parts of Italy, and France industrialized in the 1800s as well. France experienced a boom after 1850 when its
government built a railroad. Even Russia used its peasants as factory workers in
Moscow. In some areas, social classes and/or
geographic features, such as mountains slowed industrialization as transportation was not easy.
Extension Questions:
What basically lead to the US, Belgium, Germany, and many other places to industrialize?
What prevented other countries from industrializing?
The Impact of Industrialization
Rise of Global Inequality Industrialization widened the gap between rich
and poor countries as industrialized countries grew very wealthy and very powerful.
Industrialization also tied industrialized and non-industrialized countries together. Industrialized nations needed raw materials that
non-industrialized countries possessed. They also wanted to sell finished goods to non-
industrialized countries.
The Impact of Industrialization
Imperialism results as industrialized countries conquered non-industrialized countries for the above reasons. Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, and
later the US all had colonies or territories that it used for raw materials and new markets.
Transformation of Society
Industrialization gave Western Europe tremendous power and wealth while Africa and Asia lived in agricultural poverty.
Despite hardships in the short term, long term effects of industrialization eventually improved the lives of people in terms of luxuries, health, and life expectancy.
The middle class’s growth allowed its children access to education and opportunities for participating in government. This participation paves the way for reforms that further
improve life for urban factory workers.
