AP W. Hist Ch 29

The industrial revolution began in

• the United States.
• Great Britain.
• France.
• Italy.

Crucial to industrialization was

• the replacement of human and animal power with inanimate sources of energy such as steam.
• the leadership role taken by the Luddites.
• willing support of the major industrial unions.
• peasants' planned and willing relocation to the cities.

The growing demand for cotton cloth in the eighteenth century threatened British

• wool producers.
• monopoly over the Chinese silk trade.
• naval strength because of the dramatically rising cost of sails.
• educational dominance.

The British Calico Acts of 1720 and 1721

• restricted British importation of cotton cloth to the Americas.
• showed favoritism to cotton producers over wool producers.
• prohibited the importation of cotton cloth.
• encouraged the importation of printed cotton cloth in an effort to boost British trade.

The inventor of the flying shuttle was

• John Kay.
• Samuel Crompton.
• Josiah Wedgwood.
• James Watt.

The invention of the flying shuttle

• sped the weaving process.
• powered the first steam-driven locomotive.
• made the steam engine possible.
• led to the passage of the Calico Acts.

Which of the following is NOT a correct pairing of inventor and invention?

• James Watt and steam engine
• Josiah Wedgwood and "mule"
• John Bessemer and converter
• Edmund Cartwright and power loom

Edmund Cartwright was responsible for the invention of the

• steam-driven locomotive.
• converter.
• steam engine.
• power loom.

James Watt invented a more efficient steam pump when he

• figured out how to make a piston turn a wheel for rotary motion.
• redesigned the flying shuttle.
•  restructured the engine's compressor.
• copied and consolidated several important American inventions.

James Watt's steam engine did not adapt well to transportation uses because

• it consumed too much coal.
• the heat, combined with the vibrations of movement, caused instability in the structural integrity.
• the engine grew too hot and often exploded.
• it used too much gasoline to be cost efficient.
