The 19th century brought factories that could mass-produce products with machines and workers assigned to different tasks. This sparked the Industrial Revolution. Britain was the first nation to be industrialized. They built factories and made money from them and built more factories making the nation industrialized. America became industrialized due to Thomas Jefferson’s Embargo Act and the War of 1812.
Innovation and Inventions were a part of the industrializing that was taking place during this revolution and it led to many changes in lifestyles and businesses. One example of this is that innovation lead to assembly lines which made making things faster and more efficient. This lead to mass production which lead to bad working conditions and overworked employees. Another example is that the workforce changed due to the mass production.
The Industrial Revolution was a huge part of American history, but, many people do not realize how greatly our geography assisted the growth of the industry. England, where the revolution began, contains a majority of resources, similar to the states,that helped the industrial revolution greatly (Document 4). A few of the being coal, which has a source of energy; cotton and wool, both used to create textiles; iron, lead, and tin, all metals used to build factories and machinery (Document 1). Changes in agriculture also helped a great deal to get the Industrial Revolution on its feet.
Industrial revolution was a major change in the way global economy worked and how labor changed during the industrial revolution. Machines started being used in a larger scale and less workers where needed, as a result there were less jobs for people. Urbanization is the increase in population that is due to people moving from small farming communities to cities because they needed jobs and were looking for wage labor so they developed new factories. Urbanization in society was positive because it caused an increase in factories which led to more jobs, goods and resources that benefited people. Urbanization was caused by the increase of population which is shown in the chart of Document B, that the population doubled and in some cases tripled
The industrial revolution completely changed America as we know it. It brought many changes to our nation- some good and some bad. The Industrial Revolution changed how we produce and consume goods. It was so groundbreaking that we still feel the effects today. Prominent inventions of the time are pictured in document 3.
he Industrial Revolution overall had a positive effect on happiness in the workplace, village space, and resources for workers. The first example that shows it was positive is that the children were happy and had never been beaten in work. According to the 3rd document it says “They seemed to always be cheerful and alert” this tells me that it was positive because the children never got beat and they were always happy and cheerful to be at work which could cause better work ethic. Another positive thing is that in the village they were given more places to stay and they were fed and clothed.
The Industrial Revolution was a very big part of our History. It brought lots of new inventions and products that society had never thought could be possible. The Industrial Revolution also brought in new medicine and medical equipment allowing people to live longer lives. Before the advancement in medicine if a person was in a coma then they were thought dead, and usually buried alive.
The Industrial Revolution was a period of time when machines changed the lifestyle of people, but was it a revolution which factors made it revolutionary? I believe that the three characteristics that made the industrial revolution revolutionary is, it reformed old structure with new ones, it is still used and influential till today, and it is caused by economic hardship. The Industrial Revolution was a significant revolution to the world and it reformed old structure of jobs. It changed the way people live and their method of manufacture.
The Industrial Revolution occurred England for many reason, but mainly because of the geography, and improvement to technology. The Industrial revolution began in England because of its geography, improvements to farming, and improvements to textile making machines. England was set up to become industrial from the start because of its geography. There was coal and iron all around the country (Doc 1). This made production much easier for factory owners, as coal was needed for power, and iron was needed to make machines.
The Industrial Revolution was a major turning point of the nineteenth century. People were in search of a better life. Many moved and migrated to the cities. This resulted in terrible working conditions. Hundreds were in search of work which lead to business looking for anyone to be highered.
As the Industrial Revolution came about in the early 1800’s and it had a big impact on not only how people lived, but how long people lived. From the British Medical Journal, The Lancet, the life expectancy of a professional was only to the age of 38, it was 20 years old for a person of the middle class or an average person, and for a laborer in the factories the life expectancy was about 17 years old. (Doc. 8) The reason for terrible numbers is all of the pollution in the air and water throughout the city. From The Graphic magazine, the picture shows the view from the Blackfriars bridge over the River Irwell.
Effects of the Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution was an important event in history. It brought about many positives during its time. For instance, kids were well fed, educated, and clothed. There were plenty of negatives, as well. One very sad example was the machine injuries that happened to both children and adults.
The industrial revolution was an impactful era for humanity’s advancement, all over the world. People becamse eager to find faster and easier ways of doing everyday tasks, and began inventing in the 1760’s. England was the first to begin the textile revolution, which was the mass production of cloth in mills and factories. The role of women in the textile industry was significant because of their agility and smaller hands. Soon after England’s revolution, Japan followed along, about a century later in the late 1800’s; through their emperor:
In Robert Marks’ “The Industrial Revolution and Its Consequences, 1750-1850” Marks goes on to describe the end of the biological old regime and the beginning of Industrial Revolution that mechanized the world. In the old regime, people’s necessities all came exclusively from the land. However, in a revolution powered by coal, surplus goods could be manufactured in industries. This allowed the population capacity of the world to increase and a different set of challenges unseen in the old regime to arise.
The reading passage and the professor’s lecture discuss the Industrial Revolution and the great benefit brought by it to the United States. The author of the passage sustains that the Industrial Revolution rapidly spread in all the country for several factors that helped to proliferate it. The professor, in the same way, discusses the Industrial Revolution and he states some examples of how it has changed America. The author offers support for the Industrial Revolution stating that it originally took place in England in the 17th century and then it spread overseas. The professor concurs with the text, adding that English didn’t want the diffusion of the Industrial Revolution and it was illegal to export machines or design of them, and people
