
What were some positives and negatives
in the beginning of the Industrial
Revolution?
Recap




What was the Agricultural Revolution?
Why was England able to start the
Industrial Revolution?
Why did other countries lag behind?
What are the 3 factors of production?
Industrialization in the United
States


Industrialization in the US began in the
textile industry as well.
Britain tried to prevent other countries
from learning the secrets of its machines
and banned its engineers and
mechanics from leaving the country.
Industrialization in the United
States

American industrialization began when a British
worker assembled a machine in the US. In 1813,
Francis Cabot Lowell mechanized (put
machines into) every step of the textile
process and basically built two towns in
Massachusetts around his mills.

Lowell hired thousands of girls, who worked 12
hours a day, 6 days a week, and lived by strict
rules.


They did earn more money than at home, and sometimes a
decent alternative to being a servant.
Other aspects of the clothing industry and shoe
industry industrialized as well.
Industrialization in the United
States
Cotton mill in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Later Expansion of US Industry

It was not until after the US Civil War (18611865) that the United States fully industrialized.

It experienced a tremendous boom due to:





Natural resources such as coal, oil, and iron
Inventions such as the electric light bulb
A growing urban population that bought new manufactured
goods.
Railroads also helped this boom by transporting people and
goods, and causing cities like Minneapolis and Chicago to
grow.
Railroads themselves grew into huge businesses
and shipped grain and goods across the US.
The Rise of Corporations

Building large companies required a great deal
of money that was raised by issuing stock in the
company.



Stocks are shares of ownership in the corporation
and entitle the stockholder to a percentage of the
profits or worth of the company.
Businesses that issued stocks became known as
corporations, or businesses that exist as separate
entities from the owners.
In the US, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew
Carnegie caused their companies to grow to huge
proportions and earned incredible wealth.
Continental Europe
Industrializes

The Napoleonic Wars between 1789 and
1815 had set the rest of Europe back a lot.

Rulers wanted to catch up to England’s
progress because they knew industry meant
power.
Beginnings in Belgium


Belgium possessed natural resources,
and waterways for transportation.
A British mill worker smuggled industrial
technology to Belgium just as one had
done that came to the US.
Germany Industrializes



Germany, which had spots of resources,
developed spots of industrialization.
They also imported their engineers from
Britain and sent German children to England to
be educated.
Railroads were built to link Germany’s
industries as well.

As German industry grew, the German military also
gained power.
Expansion Elsewhere in
Europe

Some countries, such as Spain, parts of Italy,
and France industrialized in the 1800s as well.



France experienced a boom after 1850 when its
government built a railroad.
Even Russia used its peasants as factory workers in
Moscow.
In some areas, social classes and/or
geographic features, such as mountains
slowed industrialization as transportation was
not easy.
Extension Questions:
What basically lead to the US, Belgium,
Germany, and many other places to
industrialize?
What prevented other countries from
industrializing?
The Impact of Industrialization
Rise of Global Inequality
 Industrialization widened the gap between rich
and poor countries as industrialized countries
grew very wealthy and very powerful.
 Industrialization also tied industrialized and
non-industrialized countries together.


Industrialized nations needed raw materials that
non-industrialized countries possessed.
They also wanted to sell finished goods to nonindustrialized countries.
The Impact of Industrialization

Imperialism results as industrialized
countries conquered non-industrialized
countries for the above reasons.

Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, and
later the US all had colonies or territories that
it used for raw materials and new markets.
Transformation of Society



Industrialization gave Western Europe
tremendous power and wealth while Africa
and Asia lived in agricultural poverty.
Despite hardships in the short term, long term
effects of industrialization eventually improved
the lives of people in terms of luxuries, health,
and life expectancy.
The middle class’s growth allowed its children
access to education and opportunities for
participating in government.

This participation paves the way for reforms that
further improve life for urban factory workers.
