WHAP - Mr. Duez "Revolutions of Industry" Notes Part I: IR Begins in Britain

The Industrial Revolution was an increase in production brought on by the use of machines & characterized by the use of new energy sources. It saw a shift from an economy based on farming & handicrafts to an economy based on manufacturing by machines & industrial factories. Before I. R. about 80% of people were involved in farming as a way of living. After the I. R. only about 1% (in U. S. ). At first, working conditions were severe & could often result in injury or even death in the workplace. Children worked in factories, especially textile mills. Early conflicts between workers & employers produced positive effects for workers in modern society. I. R. replaced many handcrafted items w/mass produced items

1. What was the Industrial Revolution?

1. ) What was the Industrial Revolution? �An increased output of machine-made goods that began in England during the 18 th-century

Pre-Industrial Revolution �Village life dominated – families were nearly selfsufficient �Most villagers were farmers

Making Cloth Before Machines �Cottage Industry �Slow process �Business involving people who worked at home

2. ) Define an enclosure.

The Enclosure Movement �The process of taking over and consolidating land formerly shared by peasant farmers �Landowners gained: More land for pastures Larger fields for crops �Laborers lost: Forced off their lands Moved to growing cities

Land Enclosure in England

2. ) Define an enclosure. �Land that wealthy landowners bought from village farmers. The land was then enclosed with fences or hedges and experimentation with new harvesting methods.

The Beginnings of Industrialization �Rotating Crops Crop rotation – switching crops each year to avoid soil depletion Selective Breeding – Livestock breeders allow only the best to breed, improve the food supply

Selective Breeding Some livestock experts, such as Robert Bakewell, introduced selective breeding programs to improve the quality of the animals. Bakewell crossed different breeds of cattle and sheep to select their best characteristics Year Sheep (lbs) 1710 1795 28 80 Cattle (lbs) 370 800

Rapid Population Growth Population of Britain in 1750 6 million Population of Britain in 1851 21 million Population of London in 1750 500, 000 Population of London in 1851 3 million Families in agriculture in 1750 80% of population Families in agriculture in 1851 25% of population

Enclosure One thing Led to Another �Farmers gained pasture land for animals �Raised more sheep �Wool output increased �Larger fields �Able to cultivate product more efficiently �Farm out-put increased �Profits rose

Push Factors: Where did all the people go? �Fewer worker needed on the lands �Farmers forced off their lands �Small owners could not compete �Villages shrank �Cities grew – and GREW!! Over London by Rail Gustave Doré c. 1870. Shows the densely populated and polluted environments created in the new industrial cities

Industrial Revolution Spreads to Europe and the United States

4. ) What were three factors of production required to drive the industrial revolution?

4. ) What were three factors of production required to drive the industrial revolution? �land, labor, capital

5. ) List four factors that contributed to industrialization in Britain.

5. ) List four factors that contributed to industrialization in Britain. � 1. ) Large population of workers � 2. ) Extensive natural resources (coal, access to waterways, iron ore, harbors for trading) � 3. ) Economic prosperity (business people made investments into new inventions, highly developed banking system, growing overseas trade, climate of progress) � 4. ) Political stability (laws encouraged and protected business ventures, several military successes boosted morale)

5. ) List four factors that contributed to industrialization in Britain. 1. ) Stable Government � No wars--- several military successes gave the British a positive attitude � Parliament passed laws to encourage and protect business ventures � Had capital (money) to invest in businesses � Had overseas markets (colonial empire) 2. ) Natural Resources � Coal (energy for machines) � Iron ore (for tools) � Large network of rivers to move products 3. ) Labor Supply � Growing population � Ready workforce 4. ) Economic Prosperity � Business people made investments into new inventions � Highly developed banking system � Growing overseas trade � Climate of progress

6. ) How did rising population help the I. R. ?

6. ) How did rising population help the I. R. ? �More people provided a larger workforce.

7. ) Which were the most important inventions of the I. R. ?

7. ) Which were the most important inventions of the I. R. ? �Flying shuttle Spinning jenny Water frame Spinning mule Cotton gin �Steam engine Steam boat Railroad locomotive

Flying Shuttle � In 1733, John Kay invented the flying shuttle, an improvement to looms that enabled weavers to weave faster. The original shuttle contained a bobbin on to which the weft yarn was wound. It was normally pushed from one side of the fabric to the other side by hand. Large looms needed two weavers to throw the shuttle. The flying shuttle was thrown by a leaver that could be operated by one weaver.

Spinning Jenny: 1764 �Invented by James Hargreaves �At the time, cotton production could not keep up with demand �This machine spun many threads at the same time, thus reducing the amount of work needed to produce yarn (increased productivity = produced yarn quickly)

Water Frame Richard Arkwright patented the spinning frame or water frame that could produce stronger threads for yarns. The first models were powered by waterwheels so the device came to be first known as the water frame.

Spinning Mule In 1779, Samuel Crompton invented the spinning mule that combined the moving carriage of the spinning jenny with the rollers of the water frame. The spinning mule gave the spinner great control over the weaving process. Spinners could now make many different types of yarn. Finer cloths could now be made.

Power loom �A power loom is a mechanized loom powered by a line shaft. The first power loom was designed in 1784 by Edmund Cartwright and first built in 1785.

Factories

Cotton Gin: 1793 �Invented by Eli Whitney to mechanize the cleaning of cotton �A machine that quickly and easily separates the cotton fibers from the seeds, a job previously done by hand �Led to the demand for more slaves �https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Jz. HD 7_d. WEik https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=PFVN ipc. G 3 EQ

Textile Factory Workers in England 1813 2400 looms 150, 000 workers 1833 85, 000 looms 200, 000 workers 1850 224, 000 looms 1 million workers

Growth of Industry �Growth of factories As demand for cloth grew, inventors came up with new machines (e. g. , flying shuttle, spinning jenny) To house these new machines, manufacturers built the first factories New machines and factories increased production By the 1850 s, factories began to be powered by coal and steam engines

8. ) What impact did technological advances have on industry?

8. ) What impact did technological advances have on industry? �Production of goods was increased.

Technology �The Industrial Revolution was built on rapid advances in technology �Which of these three inventions most changed the way that raw materials, goods, and people moved?

Modern Steam Engine: 1763 -1775 �Improved by James Watt �Offered a dramatic increase in fuel efficiency �Could be used to drive many different types of machinery (by the 1850 s, most factories were powered by the steam engine) �Increased the demand for coal to heat the water to produce steam (and the need for coal miners) �http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=- RKm. Px. M 83 cc

The Impact of the Railroad • Transportation innovation that most changed the way raw materials, goods, and people moved • Allowed communication and trade between places previously deemed too far

9. ) What were the four benefits of the railroad in Britain?

9. ) What were the four benefits of the railroad in Britain? 1. ) Cheap way to transport goods 2. ) Thousands of jobs for railroad and miners 3. ) Railroads boosted agricultural/fishing industries 4. ) Villagers were encouraged to take distant city jobs http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=d 4 joq.

Industrial Revolution Spreads to Europe and the United States

Life in Factory Towns Rapid Population Growth Cramped Tenements Poor Sanitation Pollution

Housing Tenement = a substandard, multifamily dwelling, usually old and occupied by the poor � Built cheaply � Multiple stories � No running water � No toilet � Sewer down the middle of street � Trash thrown out into street � Crowded (5+ people living in one room) � Breeding grounds for diseases � Pollution from factory smoke

Child Labor • Young children • Long hours • Poor treatment • Dangerous conditions

Young women in the textile mills of Massachusetts died at an average of 26, constantly inhaling cotton dust, working long hours in unventilated rooms lit by oil lamps

Factories and Factory Towns Where employees worked n n Major change from cottage industry Had to leave home to work (travel to cities) Working in a factory n n n n No safety codes = dangerous work for all Poor factory conditions (e. g. , no heat or a/c, dirty, smelly, cramped) Long workdays (12 -14 hours) Little pay (men compete with women and children for wages) Child labor = kept costs of production low and profits high Mind-numbing monotony (doing the same thing all day every day) Owners of mines and factories exercised control over lives of laborers Life in factory towns n n Towns grew up around factories and coal mines Pollution, poor sanitation, no health codes = sickness Rapid population growth Poor lived in crowded tiny rooms in tenements (multistory buildings divided into apartments)

Migration to Cities Urbanization • Urbanization: the movement of people to cities • Changes in farming, soaring population, and an increase in demand for workers led people to move from farms to the cities to work in factories • Small towns near natural resources and cities near factories boomed instantly

1. ) How did the I. R. affect cities?

6. ) Make a chart listing the Pros and Cons of the I. R.

6. ) Make a chart listing the Pros and Cons of the I. R. PROS CONS creation of middle class exploitation of workers creation of jobs harsh working conditions increase in country's wealth urbanization led to poor housing conditions (overpopulated cities) improvements in diet, housing, pollution education Workers will eventually win high wages, shorter hours, better conditions

Negative Effects: Labor Practices & Housing Issues � Labor unrest leads to demonstrations (sometimes violent) � Strikes take place � Women were paid less than men (were actually preferred) � Tenement housing was poorly constructed, crowded, and cold � Human and industrial waste contaminated water supplies – typhoid and cholera spread

Positive Effects � Increased world productivity � Growth of railroads (faster and more efficient transportation of goods and people) � New entrepreneurs emerged (more money = more technology/inventions) � New inventions improved quality of life for many � Labor eventually organized (unions) to improve working conditions � Laws were enacted to enforce health and safety codes in cities and factories � New opportunities for women � Rise of the middle class – size, power, and wealth expanded � Social structure becomes more flexible

How did industrialization change the way of life? Size ↑ Large gaps between the rich and the poor Changes brought by industrialization Class Tensions Cities Factories Living Conditions No safety codes Sickness Working Conditions Long hours, Little pay The rise of the middle class Dangerous conditions

World Clock �http: //www. peterrussell. com/Odds/World. Clock. php

What are the 3 natural laws of economics? �an economic system in which the factors of production are privately owned and money is invested in business ventures to make a profit. � 1 - law of self interest-people work for their own good � 2 - law of competition- competition forces people to make a better product � 3 -law of supply of demand- enough goods would be produced at the lowest possible price to meet demand in a market economy

Capitalism �Economic system in which the means of production are privately owned and operated for a private profit �Free-market economy: decisions regarding supply, demand, price, distribution, and investments are made by private actors �Profit goes to owners who invest in the business

3. Define socialism.

3. Define socialism. �An economic system in which the factors of production are owned by the public and operate for the welfare of all.

The Rise of Socialism �Socialism—factors of production owned by, operated for the people, by the people �Socialists think government control can end poverty, bring equality �All can benefit from increased production, not just a few

The Socialists: Utopians & Marxists × People as a society would operate and own the means of production, not individuals × Their goal was a society that benefited everyone, not just a rich, well-connected few × Tried to build perfect communities [utopias]

4. ) How does Karl Marx describe communism?

Marxism/Communism Marxism’s Prophets � Karl Marx—German journalist proposes a radical socialism, Marxism � Friedrich Engels—German whose father owns a Manchester textile mill The Communist Manifesto � Communism is an extreme form of socialism � Marx and Engels believe society is divided into warring classes; Revolution will occur � Capitalism helps “haves, ” the employers known as the bourgeoisie � Hurts “have-nots, ” the workers known as the proletariat � Marx, Engels predict the workers will overthrow the owners

Conditions in Factories Dangerous Machinery Monotony Dirty Cramped spaces

5. ) What were the long-term effects of Marx and Engels's The Communist Manifesto?

continued Marxism: Radical Socialism The Future According to Marx � Marx believes that capitalism will eventually destroy itself � Inequality would cause workers to revolt, seize factories and mills � Communism—society where people own, share the means of production � Marx’s ideas later take root in Russia, China, Cuba � Time has shown that society not controlled by economic forces alone � http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=4 i 5 A 02 Lvg. TE http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Qra 0 hl. O 6 h. Zk&feature=fvst

Karl Marx: Communism � Wrote: The Communist Manifesto, 1848 � A response to the injustices of capitalism; argued that capitalism would produce internal tensions which would lead to its destruction � Communism = a political philosophy that aims for a classless and stateless society structured upon common ownership of the means of production and an end to private property “Class struggle between employers and employees is inevitable.
