What was the Industrial Revolution?

Industrial Revolution- social and economic reorganization that took place as machines replaced hand tools and large scale factories developed

Eli Whitney introduces the idea of interchangeable parts building muskets

Leads to mass production – the production of goods in large quantities

Development of the Factory System- use of power driven machinery for production

What effect do you think the cotton gin would have on slaves? Model of cotton gin

Slavery & Production: A Direct Relation

What is the relationship between slave production and cotton production?

The U.S. imported the same amount of slaves from 1776-1808 (32 years) that they imported from 1619-1776 (157 years)

So what was the overall effect of the cotton gin on slavery??? Slavery increased b/c of cotton gin

Where do we put the factories? After the revolution, America relied on

international trade for income Jefferson’s Embargo Act of 1807 & the

War of 1812 turned American attention towards developing domestic industries.

Why do you suppose this occurred?? What location in the U.S. would be the

most obvious choice for factory building??? Why was this so???

Two Economic Systems Develop

Northern Economy: Relied heavily on factories

and manufacturing Small agricultural

production Did not require slaves Slavery abolished in

northern states by 1804

Can We Solve the Problems of Separation in America?

Problem: America is going through a period of great uncertainty. The Industrial Revolution has lead to a major economic and social separation between northern and southern states.

Objective: Together, with your group develop a plan of action to unify America focusing mainly on economic issues.

Task: 1) Create a plan to link the agricultural economy of the

south and the industrial economy of the north. How can we unify these two economies to benefit America as a whole?

2) Focus on taxes of imported and exported goods. How can this effect your newly united economic system?

3) How can we ensure that our currency is worth the same in both northern and southern states?

The American System A plan of economic self-

sufficiency in America The plan included: 1) developing transportation

systems between states (railroads)

2) establishing protective tariffs

3) Resurrecting the national bank

National Road from Maryland to Illinois

Erie canal- connected the great lakes to the Atlantic ocean

The Erie Canal

What do you know about the Erie Canal?

Opened in 1825 Only 4 feet deep but 363

miles long Greatly increased trade

from NYC to rest of country Made NYC countries

largest port

Second Bank of the United States- created common currency so states could easily do business with one another

Which political party would not like this?

Second Bank of the U.S.- Washington D.C.

Aim Revisited: How did the Industrial Revolution create a greater divide between the North and South?

Industrial Revolution brings factory system, interchangeable parts and mass production to U.S.

North rapidly industrializes while South remains agricultural

Cotton gin brings more slaves to U.S. The American System plan attempts to

solve US regional differences

Slavery doubled in South between 1810-1830 (1.2 mil.-2 mil.)

Majority of slaves born here and spoke English

Slaves worked fields all day under harsh command

Small minority worked in cities as artisans/craftsmen

What can you learn from the picture of the slave woman here?

Abolitionists have Differing Ideas

Abolition- call to outlaw slavery

William Lloyd Garrison- radical white abolitionist

Started “The Liberator”- newspaper that preached immediate freedom for blacks

Founded the American Anti-Slavery Society

How do you suppose Garrison was viewed across America by both blacks and whites?

“I will be harsh as truth, and uncompromisingas justice…I will not excuse…I will not regret a single inch- AND I WILL BE HEARD!”- William Lloyd Garrison

Frederick Douglas

Born into slavery and educated by master’s wife

Escaped to New York Became friends with

Garrison and a member of the American Anti-Slavery Society

Believed abolition could occur through non-violent political actions

Started his own paper “The North Star” in 1847

“I appear before you as a thief and robber…I stole this head, these limbs, this body from my master and ran off with them.”

Class Debate

With a group choose the position in the abolition debate you agree with… William Lloyd Garrison’s or Frederick Douglas’.

Think about and discuss the following talking points before writing a few sentences on what your opinion is then be ready to share with the class.

William Lloyd Garrison•Uncompromising in belief that emancipation should be total and immediate•Criticized churches and U.S. Gov’t for failing to abolish slavery•Associated with black abolitionist David Walker who felt slaves unwilling to fight for freedom deserved slavery•Thought violent uprisings were acceptable in gaining emancipation

Frederick Douglas•An educated lecturer on the abolitionist cause for 50 yrs., believed in non-violence to achieve emancipation•Believed non-violence would win public sympathy and support for the cause•Protested segregation laws in trains by sitting in “white” seats•Advocated for women’s rights as well•Acted as model for African Americans by changing name of newspaper to “Frederick Douglas’ Paper

Rebellions and Reactions

Other rebellions in 1800, 1811, 1822, 1831 and countless smaller ones failed

Slave Codes- laws passed by state legislatures to tighten the control on African Americans

Abolitionists push even harder-eventually leading to violence

Aim Revisited: What were the ideas of the Abolition movement?

Women & Education “During the early part of my

life, my lot was cast among the butterflies of the fashionable world, I am constrained to say…that their education is miserably deficient…Our brethren may reject my doctrine…but I believe they would be “partakers of benefit”…and would find that woman, as their equal, was unspeakably more valuable than woman as their inferior, both as a moral and an intellectual being.” – Sarah Grimke

Industrial Revolution

Prior to the industrial revolution, most manufacturing work was done in the home

This was known as the cottage industry

How does this shift from the home to factory affect:

1) the family? 2) the community? 3) the relationship between

employer and employee? Textile Factory

Early Factories

The Spread of factories allowed for:

1) lower production costs 2) unskilled workers could now

use machines Why is this significant? Where will the unskilled workers

come from? The earliest factories sprung up in

the town of Lowell, Mass. By 1828-women made up 9/10 of

the workforce in New England factory mills

Why do you suppose mill owners would hire females over males?

Why do you suppose textile mills lured so many women in? Early factory in Winchester, Mass.

Lowell Textile Mills

As a group read your section of the Textile Mill worker’s diary and …

1. Summarize what she is writing about

2. Write what you would be thinking/feeling if you were in her position

announce 15% pay cut-workers STRIKE!!!

Will this work?

Immigration

Nearly 5 million people (not including slaves) immigrated to the U.S. between 1830-1860

Most of the immigrants were either German or Irish

Why would most immigrants avoid The South?

Irish were immigrants were disliked the most- were willing to work for the lowest wages under the worst conditions

How could this create conflict within the big cities? Immigrants arrive at Ellis Island

Aim Revisited: How did the reform movement in America change the workplace?

Factories begin to sprout up in Mass. and hire mostly young women

Working conditions are very poor and women begin to organize into early labor unions

Immigrants begin coming to country by millions from Ireland and Germany and begin to take factory jobs
