As you can see in source 13 it shows a painting of a new railway station. My second change is the work the cotton and wool industry grew and grew this caused more jobs for the people. Many children worked in the cotton mills as you can see in source 10 on the handout. This helped countries trade and bring in money which helped the economy a lot. My final change is the health and the medicine a vaccination had been developed for small pox.
By the dawn of the nineteenth century, however, the conditions for an unprecedented cotton boom had emerged: rapidly rising demand from British textile industry, following innovations in spinning, weaving, and steam power technologies; improvements in ginning technology which facilitated the easy separation of the fibers from the seeds; the availability of inexpensive land with soil and climate conducive to the growth of cotton; and strong legal and political institutions securing the maintenance of an enslaved labor force. By 1801, the annual production of cotton had increased to 48 million pounds, in 1860, it stood at a phenomenal 1,650 million pounds. As early as the 1830s the United States produced more cotton than all other countries combined, and the value of cotton exports exceeded the value of all other American exports put
The development of these technologies changed transportation, manufacturing, and even communication. These technologies also contributed to creating huge factories, through standardization, and thus furthering urbanization. The assembly line was a massive factor in industrialization, although it was invented pre-civil war; it allowed the mass production of goods and increased worker efficiency. People were now able to afford things that only the wealthy would have been able to afford in the past. On the other hand, the assembly line did indeed deskill many workers, and further reorganized how the people made a living.
From the years 1780-1832, Manchester, England was a leading textile manufacturing city soon after its first industrialized cotton mill was built in 1780. The city’s population boomed during the years of the industrialization increasing from 18,000 to over 300,000; predominantly made up of the working class and immigrants. In addition, Queen Victoria granted Manchester a royal charter after her pleasant visit during 1851, acknowledging the city’s great progress and giving it special privileges because of its success. Although many positive effects came from the textile manufacturing and growing population, the repercussion of its health issues, low morale, along with its working and living conditions overshadow its accomplishments. The industrialization of Manchester was successful for the modernization of man, yet its growth also raised many concerns in society.
These technologies included new farming implements and methods, Railroads, steam engines, and the telegraph, to name a few. This was the beginning of what would come to be known as the Industrial Revolution. There are several reasons why the Industrial Revolution Began in England. Britain had many resources, including timber and steel and iron ore. It also had a stable government, which allowed for the people to begin industrializing in the first place, harbors for trade, a very large population resulting in a very large workforce, and many water ways throughout the country to transport materials and products as well as to use for water power at mills.
America Transformed Timeline and Paper HIS/110 January 31, 2011 America Transformed Timeline and Paper The industrialization of America contributed to the economic development of the country in many, many ways. Firstly, we need to define industrialization, which usually refers to a change from home and hand production to machine and factory production. The invention of water-powered spinning and weaving machines greatly increased production of material. The cotton gin, which was invented by Eli Whitney in 1794, greatly increased the cultivation of cotton in the south. When steam power replaced water power, industries and factories arose, creating industrialized areas which attracted more and more people with the promise of paying jobs.
Section 3 CHAPTER 9 Industrial development in the United States paralleled industrialization in Britain. What were some favorable conditions that sparked industrialization in both Britain and the United States? Many new machines were powered by running water, so inventors built spinning mills near rivers and hired many workers to run the machines. The new machines led to the growth of the factory system, which brought workers and machines together in one place to manufacture goods What factors led to the great expansion of U.S. industry in the late 1800s? The USA started exporting and importing goods with other countries.
The technological advancements led to the emergence of factories and an exploding population surrounding them. Many advantages were gained during the Industrial Revolution, but it also had profound consequences on society. Two major social consequences included urbanization and child labor. During the Industrial Revolution there was an immense demand for cheap, unskilled labor. Families moved from rural areas to the newly industrialized cities to find work.
American Life after the Civil War Professor Hudson History 105 April 27, 2014 Thesis: Industrialization made drastic changes to how Americans raised and supported their family, by its urbanization of American society to become a more powerful nation. I. Consists of industrialization A. The contribution of businesses within the city 1. There were more job opportunities because the increasing number of factories.
The American Industrial Revolution changed many lives of many American during the 1800’s and early 1900’s. She was becoming one of the most important industrial nations during this period through aggressive political negotiations, economical and military power. Americans were discovering better ways of manufacture of goods, making transportation more reliable and creating communication more accessible to the general public. The population began to grow at a rapid rate and technological advances promoted the growth of industries in rural areas throughout the US. New technologies allowed business owners to reduce labor and the hours in the movement of materials from one point to the other.
