The document discusses the transition from traditional pre-industrial society to the Industrial Revolution in Britain. It describes the move from cottage industries where people produced goods by hand at home to the rise of factories using new machines powered by steam engines. This allowed for much greater production of goods like textiles to meet demand. It also discusses the need for coal and iron to power the new industries and machines, and the development of transportation like canals, roads, and railroads to distribute goods more efficiently. Overall it provides an overview of how new technology and industrialization transformed Britain's economy in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

8. I. Cottage Industry and Early Capitalism

9. I. Cottage Industry and Early Capitalism Merchant’s Role in Cottage Industry -Supplied materials – wool and cotton – to cottages to be spun into yarn -Merchants sell product for more than material and labor costs = profit + larger investment = higher profit Capitalism -An economic system based on private ownership, free competition, profit -Cottage industry = capitalism Effects of the Cottage Industry -Big profits for merchants, additional income for peasants

10. II. Textile Industry and Factory System

11. II. Textile Industry and Factory System Textile Industry Invented -Cottage industry couldn’t keep up with demand for textiles -Inventions improved production (spinning jenny, water frame, power loom, spinning mule, cotton gin) Rise of the Factory -New machines, too big for homes, were put in factories -Factories were located near power sources: coal, water Effects of Textile Factories in Britain -Inexpensive textiles -Cities with factories grow -Villagers move to cities

12. III. Steam Engine

13. III. Steam Engine The Need for Energy -Early factories relied on horses, oxen, and water mills -Steam engine evolved in response to the increasing for power How the Steam Engine Works -Steam forced from high to low pressure produces power Effect of the Steam Engine -Steam power increased production

14. IV. Iron and Coal

15. IV. Iron and Coal The Need for Iron -Farming tools, new factory machinery, railroads -Iron necessary for making steel The Need for Coal -Coal necessary for making steel -Steam engines powered by coal Effect of Iron and Coal -Britain produced more coal than all other countries of the world combined -Coal powered Britain’s enormous navy

16. V. Transportation

17. V. Transportation The Need for Better Transportation -To transport goods quickly and cheaply -Pre-Industrial society used horses, mules, and dirt roads = slow Inventions -Roads, canals, railways -Railroad era began with the Rocket in 1829 Effects of Railroads -Expanded rapidly throughout Britain -Increased production and profits

19. VIII. Why Britain led the Industrial Revolution Geography -Climate good for textile production -Separation from European continent keep them out of wars -Plenty of natural resources such as iron and coal Social Factors -British society less rigid than other European countries Colonies -Supplied raw and manufactured goods -Provided markets for new goods Advantages of Industrializing First - No other countries competing for manufactured goods -Monopoly (the only ones) of technology
