The Industrial Revolutionin Great Britain & America

1750-1850

1. Industrial Revolution

A change from using HUMAN& ANIMAL power to

MACHINE power.

100 years 1750-1850

2. THREE causes of the

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION-

-Agricultural Revolution

-Population Explosion

-Energy Revolution

APE

#2 Agricultural RevolutionC H A N G E S I N F A R M I N G

• Dikes• Fertilizer• New Crops • Crop Rotation• Enclosure• Seed Drill (Jethro Tull)

= MoreFood

More Food = More People

#2 POPULATION INCREASE

More people available to work in the factories and the more people that exist, the more DEMAND for goods

More PEOPLE WANT More STUFF

#2 Energy Revolution

-Machines made out of IRON ore.

-COAL makes the machine run.

-Coal is used to fuel the

STEAM ENGINE…(James Watt)

3. 4 REASONS the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION began in GREAT BRITAIN

1. GB had a lot of NATURAL RESOURCES available. (ports, rivers, coal, & iron)

2. GB had a large population. * Factory Workers * Created a DEMAND FOR GOODS.

3. GB Capital / $$ to invest in business or new inventions.

4. GB had a stable government. No wars on their soil.

4. Putting Out System

TEXTILES = FABRIC or CLOTH

People took part in the process of creatingTEXTILES in their own homes.

TOO SLOW……Could not keep Up

With DEMAND

5. Textile Inventions

• New inventions created to keep up with the DEMAND for goods. FASTER

• Made textiles faster.

- Spinning Jenny Faster - Water Frame Faster - Spinning Mule Faster - Cotton Gin Faster

6. Steam Engine

• This device powers MACHINES.

• Improved upon by JAMES WATT.

• Made out of IRON & fueled with

COAL ENGINE ENGINE ENGINE

7. Urbanization

• The rapid movement of PEOPLE to the CITIES. (Looking for JOBS)

• Tenements = Multistory Apartments

8. Labor Union

• A group who fights for worker’s rights.

BARGAIN NEGOTIATE

9. Positive Aspects of the Industrial Revolution

• New Jobs• Education• Modern Inventions• Modern Buildings• Middle Class• More Goods• Transportation Faster• New Sources of Energy

10. Negative Aspects of the Industrial Revolution

- Working Conditions and Wages- Child Labor- Depletion of Natural Resources- Pollution- Lose Jobs to Machines- Urbanization

11. Bessemer Process

• Henry Bessemer invented a way to make STEEL from IRON

• Steel is stronger…..stronger…..stronger

IRON = STEEL

12. New Inventions

- Louis Pasteur – came up with the GERM THEORY. Pasteurizing of milk (killed disease carrying microbes found in milk/Vaccine against rabies

-Alfred Nobel/ - Invented dynamite for use in construction.

-Thomas Edison – An American inventor who developed the electric light bulb.

13. New Methods of Production

• Interchangeable Parts – Machine parts that are mass produced and identical as opposed to being hand-made “One of a kind.”

• Assembly Line- A manufacturing system in which a product is completed step-by-step by different workers.

- Made production FASTER & CHEAPER
