Bellringer• Get with your partner to finish getting your “History Show

and Tell” together! We will share in two minutes!

History Show and Tell!• With a partner, use the internet to discover an invention of

the Industrial Revolution.• 1. Find a picture of the invention. One person will walk

around the room to show it to everyone.• 2. Write a short description of the invention. What is it?

Who invented it and when was it invented? What is the purpose of this invention? One person will read this to the class.

• You will turn this in for a daily grade, so put forth your best effort!

• I will come around and check your work. Make sure I check your so you can get your grade!

Cottage Industry to Factory Work• Cotton good had been made via the cottage industry

• What is the cottage industry?

• Technology made the cottage industry ineffective in the 18th century.

Flying Shuttle, 1733• Invented by John Kay• Sped up weaving

Spinning Jenny, 1764• Invented by James Hargreaves• Made thread faster to keep up with the flying shuttle

Water Powered Loom, 1787• Invented by Edmund Cartwright to keep up with thread

production• Machines powered by water, run by people

Steam Engine, 1782• Improved by James Watt• Powered machinery

Cotton Gin, 1793• Invented by Eli Whitney• Cleaned cotton quickly• By 1850s, U.S. produced ¾ of the world’s cotton!

Cottage Industry to Factory Work• British cotton cloth production increased dramatically!

• 1760: imported 2.5 million pounds of cotton (enough for cottage industry production)

• 1787: imported 22 million pounds of cotton • 1840: imported 366 million pounds of cotton

• Factory system created a new labor system• What is the factory system?

Cotton in Alabama• The following description, penned by British visitor Hiram Fuller in 1858,

accurately depicts the integral part that the cotton trade played in the urban development of antebellum Mobile.

Mobile—a pleasant cotton city of some thirty

thousand inhabitants—where the people live in

cotton houses and ride in cotton carriages.

They buy cotton, sell cotton, think cotton, eat

cotton, and dream cotton. They marry cotton wives,

and unto them are born cotton children. In

enumerating the charms of a fair widow, they

begin by saying she makes so many bales of

cotton. It is the great staple—the sum and

substance of Alabama. It has made Mobile, and

all its citizens.

Coal, Iron, and Railroads• Steam engines needed coal so the coal industry grew.• Coal also aided the iron industry.• New process – puddling- created higher quality iron, and

business boomed.• 1740: 17,000 tons• 1780s: 70,000 tons• 1852: 3 million tons (more than the rest of the world combined!)

• Iron was used to build trains more efficient means of moving goods and resources

• Railroads key to the success of the Industrial Revolution!• Created more jobs• Less expensive transportation = less expensive goods = more sales =

more factories and machines• Ongoing economic growth!

Review!• 1. Name important inventions that changed the textile

industry.• 2. Why did the invention of new technology lead to further

inventions?• 3. What is the difference between the cottage industry and

the factory system.• 4. What connections can you see between advances in

iron production, the development of railroads, and the growth of the coal industry?
