3 Name: Class Period: Date: The Industrial Revolution in America (12.1) Vocabulary: Industrial Revolution Technology Eli Whitney Notes: The Industrial Revolution Textile Industry Slater & His Secrets A period of rapid growth in using machines for manufacturing and production that began in the mid- 1700s. First breakthrough in the industrial revolution was how textiles (cloth goods) were made. Richard Arkwright invented spinning machine (1769) called water frame o used water power o lowered cost of cotton and increased textile production. Textile mills built near rivers and streams. Samuel Slater memorized British textile machine designs brought o U.S. Manufacturing Breakthroughs Manufacturing Grows Slowly U.S. factories need better technology (tools) to make muskets Eli Whitney introduced the idea of Interchangeable parts, identical parts of a machine, to make manufacturing easier. Interchangeable parts speeds up process of mass production. British prices on manufactured goods were lower, hurt American manufacturing. War of 1812 cut trade with Great Britain, allowing United States manufacturing to prosper 3

4 Questions: 1. How did machines speed up textile manufacturing? 2. How did the War of 1812 aid the growth of American manufacturing? 3. Why was manufacturing in Great Britain in the early years more successful than that in the U.S.? 4. Complete the chart below: Inventor Invention/Improvement Effect on Manufacturing Lowered the cost of cotton cloth, increased speed of textile production, lead to large textile mills.

5 Changes in Working Life (12.2) Vocabulary: Lowell System Trade Unions Strikes Notes: Mills Change Workers Lives The Lowell System Workers Organize Factory Jobs repetitive and low pay Samuel Slater Rhode Island System o Hired entire family with children paid low wages o Build housing and company store for workers Francis Cabot Lowell o Employed young, unmarried women, and housed in boarding houses o Provided clean factory and free- time activities for employees o Spinning thread and weaving in the same factory Worked hour days in unhealthy conditions Skilled craftsmen lost money competing with factories. Factory workers wages dropped as number of jobs increased Craftsmen formed trade unions for higher wages and better work conditions. Labor unions held strikes, refusing to work until demands met. Most early strikes unsuccessful 5

6 Questions: 1. What problem did Slater have in his mills, and how did he solve it? Problem: Solution: 2. How was the Lowell system different from the Rhode Island system? 3. Why did workers form unions, and what were the main goals of union reformers? 4. Complete the chart: Effect on Workers Samuel Slater Francis Cabot Lowell Sarah G. Bagley 6

9 The Transportation Revolution (12.3) Vocabulary: Transportation Revolution Gibbons v. Ogden Peter Cooper Notes: Trade and Daily Life Steamboats American Railroads Transportation Revolution Brings Changes A New Fuel The 1800s gave rise to the transportation revolution. The transportation revolution created a boom in business and trade by allowing goods to travel quickly across the U.S. Two new forms of transportation o Steamboat o Steam powered trains o these enabled goods and people to travel quickly across the United States. Robert Fulton invents the steamboat Clermont. Steamboats increase trade by moving goods more quickly and cheaply. Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) Supreme Court reinforced the federal government s authority to regulate trade between states. o Gibbons argued that a federal license gave him the right to use New York waterways without another license. o The Supreme Court agreed with Gibbons Peter Cooper built a small and powerful locomotive Tom Thumb in By 1860 about 30,000 miles of track linked almost every major eastern city. People in all areas had access to products made and grown far away. Railroads contributed to expanding the U.S. border Cities and towns grew along railroad tracks Farm industry grew in the Midwest Coal replaced wood as the main fuel source for steam engines. Railroad helped create the coal industry Coal became the main fuel in homes and for the steel industry 9

10 The railroad helped the lumber industry grow, leading to large scale deforestation. The railroad caused cities like Chicago to grow as a transportation hub. Summary: Questions: 1. What was the effect of the Gibbons v. Ogden ruling? 2. In what ways did railroads affect the economy of the United States? 3. What role did railroads play in the growth of the coal industry? 4. Using the chart below, explain how the steamboat and the locomotive affected business, travel, and communication in the United States. Steamboat Effects: Effects: Locomotive 10

11 More Technological Advances (12.4) Vocabulary: Samuel F.B. Morse Telegraph John Deere Cyrus McCormick Notes: Telegraph Speeds Communication Steam Power and New Factories Improved Farm Equipment Changing Life at Home In 1832 Samuel F.B. Morse perfects the telegraph. o Did not catch on until the 1844 Democratic Convention sent their nomination to Washington using a telegraph A Morse associate created Morse Code to communicate messages over wires. o Morse Code turns pulses of electric current into long and short clicks (A.K.A. dots and dashes) arranged into patters representing the alphabet. Telegraph was significant because it allowed people to send news quickly from coast to coast Telegraph grew with the railroad Shift from water power to steam allowed owners to build factories anywhere Factories shifted closer to cities and transportation centers John Deere designed a steel plow in 1837 to replace the iron plow Cyrus McCormick developed the mechanical reaper in 1831 to quickly and efficiently harvest wheat. o Used advertising to increase sales o Allowed people to buy on credit These inventions allowed farmers to plant and harvest huge crop fields, helping the country prosper Sewing machine, invented by Elias Howe and improved by Isaac Singer, made home sewing easier. Ice boxes and iron cookstoves improved household food storage and preparation. Mass produced goods, such as clocks, matches, and safety pins, added to household convenience. 11

12 Summary: Questions: 1. What event led to the widespread use of the telegraph, and what effect did the telegraph have on cross- country communications? 2. What changes resulted from the shift to steam power? 3. What marketing methods did McCormick use to help sell his farm equipment? 4. How did labor- saving inventions affect daily life? 5. In the chart below, explain which three technological advances in this section were the most important and explain why. Technological advance Why it is the most important

13 Growth of the Cotton Industry (13.1) Instructions: After reading the following text, underline any important facts you see that might be used for note taking. After the class finishes, we will review what Mr. Mize sees as important to see where we are similar and highlight those points within the text. Reviving the South s Economy Before the American Revolution, three crops dominated southern agriculture tobacco, rice, and indigo. These crops, produced mostly by enslaved African Americans, played a central role in the southern economy and culture. After the American Revolution, however, prices for tobacco, rice, and indigo dropped. When crop prices fell, the demand for and price of slaves also went down. In an effort to protect their incomes, many farmers tried, with little success, to grow other crops that needed less labor. Soon, however, cotton would transform the southern economy and greatly increase the demand for slave labor. Once we finish discussion, write down the information, in Cornell Notes format, on the next page. Let s try one more time. Underline important facts you find within the text. Cotton Becomes Profitable Cotton had been grown in the New World for centuries, but it had not been a very profitable crop. Before cotton could be spun into thread for weaving into cloth, the seeds had to be removed from the cotton fibers. Long- staples cotton, also called black- seed cotton, was fairly easy to process. Workers could pick the seeds from the cotton with relative ease. But long- staple cotton grew well in only a few places in the South. More common was short- staple cotton, which was also known as green- seed cotton. Removing the seeds from this cotton was difficult and time consuming. A worker could spend an entire day picking the seeds from a single point of short- staple cotton. By the early 1790s the demand for American cotton began increasing rapidly. For instance, in Great Britain, new textile factories needed raw cotton that could be used for making cloth, and American cotton producers could not keep up with the high demand for their cotton. These producers of cotton needed a machine that could remove the seeds from the cotton more rapidly. Again, write down what we have highlighted on the next page. Next, you will read the following text, underlining what you feel would be information needed for your notes. You will then compare with a partner. Whatever you have the same you will highlight and then write down on the next page. Be sure to write the section title (main idea) on the left and note bullets on the right. Eli Whitney s Cotton Gin Northerner Eli Whitney finally patented such a machine in The year before, Whitney had visited a Georgia plantation owned by Catherine Greene where workers were using a machine that removed seeds from long- staple cotton. This machine did not work well on short- staple cotton, and Greene asked Whitney if he could improve it. By the next spring, Whitney had perfected his design for the cotton gin, a machine that removes seeds from short- staple cotton. The cotton gin used a hand- cranked cylinder with wire teeth to pull cotton fibers from the seeds. Whitney hoped to keep the design of the gin a secret, but the machine was so useful that other manufacturers often ignored his patent. Whitney s gin revolutionized the cotton industry. Planters, large- scale farmers who held more than 20 slaves, built cotton gins that could process tons of cotton much faster than hand processing. A healthy crop almost guaranteed financial success because of the high demand from the textile industry. 13
