THE INDUSTREAL REVOLUTION
Collin Duggan & Will Summerall
What Was the
Industrial Revolution? It was a period of rapid growth with
breakthroughs in water powered machines and high production.
Hand powered machines were not efficient enough to fill large orders so a man named Richard Arkwright came up with a revolutionary idea
His design would allow 1 machine to do the work of 50 people
The Idea
He created a wheel with boards of wood that would catch the water and turn a master axle called a vertical shaft, this puts the whole operation in motion. One of these water wheel inventions could power an entire textile mill.

All manufacturing was done by hand No two musket parts were exactly the same It would take more then a week to make one
musket No mass production
Before Whitney
Promised the federal government that he could
build 10,000 muskets in a little more than two years
Whitney had never made a musket before Designed a milling machinewhich would make parts Exactly the same every time Didn’t make a single musket in the first two years of allotted time
Eli Whitney
Interchangeable parts are parts of a machine
that are perfectly identical They speed up the production of machinery Mass production Made guns fixable You could easily replace broken parts

2-03 LABOR UNION
LABOR UNION
• Trade Unions were groups that tried to improve pay and work conditions
• Pay was low, employees had to work 12-hour work days, and people were at risk of losing their jobs to immigrants
• Most employers did not want to hire union workers
• Employers believed that the higher cost of union employees prevented competition with other manufactures
• Sarah G. Bagley founded the Lowell Female Labor Reform in 1844 ad publicized the struggles of factory laborers
• President Martin Van Buren had granted a 10-hour work day in 1840 for many federal employees
LABOR UNION
• In 1834, representatives from various trade unions convened at the National Trades’ Union Convention in New York City
• The NTU convention, which marked the first sub included obtaining legal recognition for trade unions in every American jurisdiction, organizing unorganized workers, establishing universal free public education for children and adults, and creating a separate political party
LABOR UNION• Sarah G. Bagley- Enjoyed the experience of factory work at first, but then her
attitude towards textile corporations became increasingly critical, However, reflecting a general discontent among mill workers over declining wages and deteriorating working conditions including a speed up of machine operations.
• In 1844, when then Massachusetts Legislature set up a special committee to consider the problem; The first governmental investigation of labor conditions in the United States.

THE BEGINN ING O F THE S TEAM B O AT
In the early 1800’s many steamboats would traverse the inland seas of the northern statesSteam boats were first introduced in the transportation revolution- a period of rapid growth in the speed of commerce and travelIn 1835, Americans had joined the Hudson to the Mississippi (made trade more effective; Atlantic Ocean-Mississippi) Improvements like these made goods, people and information more transferrable By 1840, 7,500 steamboats were being usedBy the 1850’s steamboats were used to carry people and goods across the Atlantic
MORE ABOUT STEAMBOATS
They had been known to travel across and around the HudsonThe first steamboat to explore the west was the “Shasta” and was used to go to San Francisco in search of goldRobert Fulton tested the first design in FranceWhen he was 13, he invented a sky rocketThe first full sized steamboat was “Clermont.”
• Designed by Robert Fulton
GIBBONS V. OGDEN
Increased shipping led to waterway right problems.
1819 Aaron Ogden sued Thomas Gibbons
Gibbons did not have a license in New York City waterways.
The Gibbons v. Ogden case regulated trade between states by ending monopolistic control.
1-05 COTTON GINBy John Shultz
Usage and origin The cotton gin was used to remove the
seeds out of cotton ten times faster than by hand
You use it by turning the handle to move the cotton through the machine and the wire tears the seeds from the cotton
It was also helpful because it helps to fill the huge need for cotton in England
Later on the gin was changed by other manufacturers who stole the design to use saws instead which was much better than the wire
Effects The design made cotton one of their leading crops
so they started to abandon their other crops The cotton caused an up rise in textile
manufacturing because it was a highly produced crop because of the cotton gin
Cotton exports to England changed from one hundred thirty-eight thousand pounds to over one and a half million and thirty years later it went all the way up to two-hundred million pounds
The USA produced half of the cotton in the world
Other facts The cotton also had to go through another process
called browning because the cotton gin didn’t clean the cotton
Eli Whitney hoped to keep its design a secret but he couldn’t because laws preventing people from stealing ideas haven’t been passed or were not enforced

The Rise of Nativism In the early 1800s, immigrants traveled to America to start a
new life. But, this just started trouble. As the immigrants settled in American cities, it bothered some
people who didn’t like foreigners bringing their languages, cultures, and foods with them.
Soon later, America’s population would grow rapidly, and the Industrial Revolution would start taking place.
The Industrial Revolution started in the mid 1800s, which supplied many jobs for immigrants and U.S. citizens.
Some people felt threatened by the foreigners due to immigrants looking for payment that could be lower than the minimum wage.
As immigration increased, Nativists founded a political party known as the Know Nothing Party.

was a network of people who arranged transportation and hiding places for fugitives, or escaped slaves.
• Fugitives would travel along routes that led them into northern states and sometimes Canada.
• No one person, or group of people was ever officially in charge
• Most famous and daring conductor was Harriet Tubman • At one time the reward for Harriet Tubman was up to $40,000

TEXT BOOK FACTS
The American Temperance societies main purpose was to moderate drinking they encouraged people who were alcoholics to pledge total abstinence (which means to give up drinking).Because of this movement many saloons and bars were closed down in 1873 and 1874 in the late 19th century the movement was stalled and was not going anywhere.Eventually in the end the Temperance movement led up to the early stages of probation.
BOOK FACTS
THE END
1-13 Uncle Tom’s Cabin
C.J. Donaghy
Background• Uncle Tom’s Cabin was written by Harriett Beecher Stowe as a protest against the
Compromise of 1850• The author Harriet Beecher Stowe was an abolitionist • The novel sold one million copies by early 1853• Southerners were mad that the book depicted slavery as something that ravaged families,
denigrated labor, and encouraged sexual indiscretion.• The Civil war began nine years after the book was published and President Abraham Lincoln
famously stated, “So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!”
• A political point in the novel was that Christianity and Slavery were mutually exclusive.• Stowe linked the story of Uncle Tom’s suffering with the life and death of Jesus Christ.• The book made Northerners and others aware of the cruelty of Slavery and how the Slave
Owners treated their slaves.
Black American Response• Uncle Tom’s Cabin was originally praised by blacks because Frederick Douglass wrote a
positive review of the novel in an editorial. • William Wells Brown, J. McCune Smith, and William Still were well known blacks who also
approved Stowe’s novel.• They likened themselves to the novel because they thought of the book as anti-slavery
propaganda.• Some blacks said that Uncle tom’s Cabin was addressed to Universal Humanity.• Black people later come to know Uncle Tom’s Cabin because of its inferior black images and
racist theme.• Uncle Tom’s Cabin was not as popular with blacks at the time because the majority of
readers of the book were White.
