Industrialization

We have _________________ to thank for rapid expansion / industrialization in the United States during the late 1800s.

• access to natural resources

• tariffs on the US economy

• wars overseas

• petroleum

In order to reach new resources located throughout the American frontier, the _________________ industry was forced to expand rapidly.

• railroad

• coal mining

• steel

• wood milling

In the Second factor that led Great Britain to become the first place for the Industrial Revolution to take place, what was the enclosures movement's impact?

• This meant that few people faced starvation & the population grew

• Resulted in a healthier population

• Peasants moved to towns, creating a labor supply for factories

• Landowners fenced off common lands

In the Fourth factor that led Great Britain to become the first place for the Industrial Revolution to take place, what was the role of coal and iron ore?

• Provided water power for the new factories

• Provided a means for transporting new materials and finished products

• This natural resource was used as fuel to power steam engines.

• This natural resource was used as steel to build the machines.

What was the Fifth factor that led Great Britain to become the first to industrialize?

• Growing domestic markets and colonial empire served as outlet for goods

• Capital to invest in machines and factories

• Abundance of natural resources like rivers, coal and iron ore

• Agricultural Revolution

Place in which workers and machines are brought together to produce large quantities of goods, it is a large building in which machinery is used to manufacture goods.

• enclosure movement

• factories

• legislation

• parliament

Played an important role in the mechanization of textile production. Like the spinning wheel, it may be operated by a treadle or by hand. But, unlike the spinning wheel, it can spin more than one yarn at a time. The idea for multiple-yarn spinning was conceived about 1764 by James Hargreaves, an English weaver.

• spinning jenny

• steam engine

• textile factories

• water powered loom

The machine that turns energy released by burning fuel, primarily coal, into motion. Thomas Newcomen built the first workable one in 1712. James Watt vastly improved his device in the 1760s and 1770s. It was then applied to machinery in 1782.

• spinning jenny

• steam engine

• textile factories

• water powered loom

This machine made it possible for the weaving of cloth to catch up with the spinning of thread; Edmund Cartwright- built factories on rivers and streams to power the looms
