- 1. The Industrial Revolution Lexi Hr: 5
Notes de l'éditeur
- Both the embargo and non-intercourse acts weakened the industrial boom spreading across the North. After Treaty of Ghent in 1815 Britain filled American newspapers with adds for cheaper-than-American products. All Rhode Island mills, save the original Slater factory, were closed. Many more trades were added to the manufacturing business. Led to the principle of interchangeable parts. Eli Whitney turned to the mass production of muskets for US Army after he failed to gain a monopoly on the cotton gin In the past, handmade parts only worked for the specific mechanism they were created for These guns were cheaper to make but lacking in quality
- Eli Whitney’s interchangeable parts led to mass production and helped spread indudstrialization. Ready-Made clothe was relied upon heavily during the Civil War For the first time women were working out of the house in factories, where they tended the industrial sewing machines.
- The First World’s Fair was held in London’s Crystal Palace. Some of the American inventions included were: McCormick’s Reaper, Morse’s Telegraph, Colt’s firearms, and Charles Goodyear’s Vulcanized rubber goods.
- Shut down many small businesses that were the staple for goods before the industrial revolution Labor Unions were considered criminal conspiracy Factories were poorly lit and ventilated. Those who ran/owned them were very well off, but skimped on the treatment of their workers
- Samual Slater’s mill of 1791, first 9 machine tenders were children under 12
- Factories undermined traditional women’s work Offered jobs to those whose jobs they had displaced Opportunities for women to make their own money were scare and generally included: nursing teaching and domestic services.
