Title: The Industrial Revolution
1The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution is when people stopped
making goods at home and started making goods in
factories!
2- The Industrial Revolution was a period from the
18th to the 19th century where major changes in
agriculture, manufacturing, mining,
transportation, and technology had a profound
effect on the socioeconomic and cultural
conditions of the times - Industrialization a shift from an agricultural
(farming) economy to one based on industry
(manufacturing)
3Key Terms
- Industrialization a shift from an agricultural
economy (farming) to one based on industry
(manufacturing) - Manufacturing the use of machines, tools, and
labor to make things for use or sale - Rural farming or country life villages
(sparsely populated) - Urban city life (densely populated)
- Urbanization the movement of people to cities
- Tenement a substandard, multi-family dwelling
usually old and occupied by the poor - Free market a market in which there is no
economic intervention and regulation by the state
(govt) - Capitalism private ownership of means of
production - Socialism society (not the individual) owns and
operates the means of production

5Pre-Industrial Revolution
- Village life dominated families were nearly
self-sufficient - Most villagers were farmers
6Making Cloth Before Machines
- Cottage Industry
- Slow process
- Business involving people who worked at home
7Causes of the Industrial Revolution
- Agricultural Revolution improved the quality
and quantity of food - Farmers mixed different kinds of soil or tried
new crop rotation to get higher yields - This led to a surplus of food fewer people died
from hunger rapid growth in population - Rich landowners pushed ahead with enclosure the
process of taking over and consolidating land
once shared by peasant farmers (farm output and
profits rose) - New technologies and new sources of energy and
materials (e.g., James Watts steam engine became
a key source of power)
8Rapid Population Growth
Population of Britain in 1750 6 million
Population of Britain in 1851 21 million
Population of London in 1750 500,000
Population of London in 1851 3 million
Families in agriculture in 1750 65 of population
Families in agriculture in 1851 25 of population

The Industrial Revolution
10Industrial Revolution Begins In Great Britain
- Stable Government
- No wars
- Had capital (money) to invest in businesses
- Had overseas markets (colonial empire)
- Natural Resources
- Coal (energy for machines)
- Iron ore (for tools)
- Large network of rivers to move products
- Labor Supply
- Growing population
- Ready workforce
- New Technology
- Invention and improvement of steam engine
11Industrial Revolution Spreads to Europe and the
United States
12The Enclosure Movement
- The process of taking over and consolidating land
formerly shared by peasant farmers - Landowners gained
- More land for pastures
- Larger fields for crops
- Laborers lost
- Forced off their lands
- Moved to growing cities
13Enclosure One thing Led to Another
- Farmers gained pasture land for animals
- Raised more sheep
- Wool output increased
- Larger fields
- Able to cultivate product more efficiently
- Farm out-put increased
- Profits rose
14Land Enclosure in England
15Push FactorsWhere did all the people go?
- Fewer workers needed on the lands
- Farmers forced off their lands
- Small owners could not compete
- Villages shrank
- Cities grew and GREW!!

the densely populated and polluted environments
created in the new industrial cities
16Migration to Cities
17First Major Industry to Form
- TEXTILE!
- The demand for cloth grew, so merchants had to
compete with others for the supplies to make it.
This raised a problem for the consumer because
the products were at a higher cost. The solution
was to use machinery, which was cheaper then
products made by hand (which took a long time to
create), therefore allowing the cloth to be
cheaper to the consumer. - Remember the Spinning Jenny? It
reduced the amount of time and work
needed to produce yarn (increased
productivity)
18Textile Factory Workers in England
1813 2400 looms 150, 000 workers
1833 85, 000 looms 200, 000 workers
1850 224, 000 looms gt1 million workers
19Growth of Industry
- Growth of factories
- As demand for cloth grew, inventors came up with
new machines (e.g., flying shuttle, spinning
jenny) - To house these new machines, manufacturers built
the first factories - New machines and factories increased production
- By the 1850s, factories began to be powered by
coal and steam engines
20Technological Advances that Produced the
Industrial Revolution
- Spinning Jenny James Hargreaves
- Steam Engine James Watt
- Cotton Gin Eli Whitney
- Process for making Steel Henry Bessemer

all-of-us/videos/industrial-revolution
21Spinning Jenny 1764
- Invented by James Hargreaves
- At the time, cotton production could not keep up
with demand - This machine spun many threads at the same time,
thus reducing the amount of work needed to
produce yarn (increased productivity produced
yarn quickly)
22Modern Steam Engine 1763-1775
- Improved by James Watt
- Offered a dramatic
increase in fuel
efficiency - Could be used to
drive many different
types of machinery
(by the 1850s, most
factories were powered by the steam
engine) - Increased the demand for coal to heat the water
to produce steam (and the need for coal miners)
23Cotton Gin 1793
- Invented by Eli Whitney to mechanize the cleaning
of cotton - A machine that quickly and easily separates the
cotton fibers from the seeds, a job previously
done by hand - Led to the demand for
more slaves

25(Henry) Bessemer Process for the Manufacture of
Steel 1856
- Bessemer process involved using oxygen in air
blown through molten pig iron to burn off the
impurities and thus create steel - Lowered the cost of steel production, leading to
steel being widely substituted for cast iron - Steel used for the production of guns and railway
structures such as bridges and tracks

27Technology
- The Industrial Revolution was built on rapid
advances in technology - Which of these three inventions most changed the
way that raw materials, goods, and people moved?
28The Impact of the Railroad
- Transportation innovation that most changed the
way raw materials, goods, and people moved - Allowed communication and trade between places
previously deemed too far
29Factories and Factory Towns
- Where employees worked
- Major change from cottage industry
- Had to leave home to work (travel to cities)
- Working in a factory
- No safety codes dangerous work for all
- Poor factory conditions (e.g., no heat or a/c,
dirty, smelly, cramped) - Long workdays (12-14 hours)
- Little pay (men compete with women and children
for wages) - Child labor kept costs of production low and
profits high - Mind-numbing monotony (doing the same thing all
day every day) - Owners of mines and factories exercised control
over lives of laborers
- Life in factory towns
- Towns grew up around factories and coal mines
- Pollution, poor sanitation, no health codes
sickness - Rapid population growth
- Poor lived in crowded tiny rooms in tenements
(multistory buildings divided into apartments)
30Conditions in Factories
Dangerous Machinery
Monotony
Dirty
Cramped spaces
31- Young women in the textile mills of Massachusetts
died at an average age of 26, constantly inhaling
cotton dust, working long hours in unventilated
rooms lit by oil lamps
32Child Labor
- Young children
- Long hours
- Poor treatment
- Dangerous conditions

34Life in Factory Towns
Rapid Population Growth
Cramped Tenements
Poor Sanitation
Pollution
35Housing
- Tenement a substandard,
multi-family dwelling, usually old
and occupied by the poor - Built cheaply
- Multiple stories
- No running water
- No toilet
- Sewer down the middle of street
- Trash thrown out into street
- Crowded (5 people living in
one room) - Breeding grounds for diseases
- Pollution from factory smoke
36Factories and Mass Production
The factory system changed the world of
work Mass Production the production of large
amounts of standardized products, especially on
assembly lines
37Assembly Line
- Workers on an assembly line add parts to a
product that moves along the belt from one work
station to the next - A different person performs each task along the
assembly line - This division of labor made production faster and
cheaper, lowering the price of goods
38First Assembly LineHenry Ford - Automobiles
39Rise of Labor Unions
- Encouraged worker-organized strikes to demand
increased wages and improved working conditions - Lobbied for laws to improve the lives of workers,
including women and children - Wanted workers rights and collective bargaining
between labor and management
40Large Gaps between Rich Poor
The HAVE-NOTS The Poor, The Over-Worked, and
the Destitute
- The HAVES
- Bourgeois Life Thrived on the Luxuries of the
Industrial Revolution
41Upstairs/Downstairs Life
42New Ways of ThinkingEconomic PatternsCapitalis
m vs. Socialism
43Capitalism
- Economic system in which the means of production
are privately owned and operated for a private
profit - Free-market economy decisions regarding supply,
demand, price, distribution, and investments are
made by private actors - Profit goes to owners who invest in the business
- Wages are paid to workers employed by companies
and businesses
44Stereotype of the Factory Owner
45 The Socialists Utopians Marxists
- People as a society would operate and own
themeans of production, not individuals - Their goal was a society that benefited
everyone, not just a rich, well-connected few - Tried to build perfect communities utopias
46Karl Marx Communism
- Wrote The Communist Manifesto, 1848
- A response to the injustices of capitalism
argued that capitalism would produce internal
tensions which would lead to its destruction - Communism a political philosophy that aims for
a classless and stateless society structured upon
common ownership of the means of production and
an end to private property - Class struggle between employers and employees
is inevitable. Instead of capitalism with its
emphasis on greediness and selfishness, the new
society ruled by the proletariat (working class)
will ensure social, economic, and political
equality for everyone.
47Capitalism vs. Communism
- Capitalism
- an economic and social system in which capital
- is privately owned
- labor, goods and capital are traded in markets
and - profits distributed to owners or invested in
technologies and industries. - Communism
- a social structure in which classes are abolished
- property is commonly controlled
- A dictatorship of the workers
- Capitalism Re-Definitions
- Communism Re-Definitions

50Positive Effects
- Increased world productivity
- Growth of railroads (faster and more efficient
transportation of goods and people) - New entrepreneurs emerged (more money more
technology/inventions) - New inventions improved quality of life for many
- Labor eventually organized (unions) to improve
working conditions - Laws were enacted to enforce health and safety
codes in cities and factories - New opportunities for women
- Rise of the middle class size, power, and
wealth expanded - Social structure becomes more flexible
51Negative Effects Factory Life
- Child labor used in factories mines
- Miserable (dirty, cramped) and dangerous
(fingers, limbs, lives lost) working conditions - Monotonous work with heavy, noisy, repetitive
machinery - Long working hours six days a week, with little
pay - Rigid schedules ruled each day
- Gas, candle oil lamps created soot and smoke in
factories - Diseases such as pneumonia tuberculosis spread
through factories
52Negative Effects Labor Practices Housing Issues
- Labor unrest leads to demonstrations (sometimes
violent) - Strikes take place
- Women were paid less than men (were actually
preferred) - Indentured workers
- Employers had a more impersonal relationship with
employees - Tenement housing was poorly constructed, crowded,
and cold - Human and industrial waste contaminated water
supplies typhoid and cholera spread
53Negative Effects Worldwide
- Air pollution increased over cities and
industrial areas - Technological changes eroded the balance of power
in Europe - Contributed to the growth of imperialism and
communism (Marxs Engels theories) - Produced weaponry that gave Western nations a
military advantage over developing nations
54Not Necessarily Good or Bad
- The location of work places changed as more goods
were produced away from the home environment
(towns/factories) - Educational systems emphasized more science,
technology, and business - A global economy began to emerge (trade)
