Industrialization

New technologies in energy, transportations, and communication changed how people lived and worked.

Characterized by the economy moving away from agriculture and living on farms to manufacturing and urbanization (city living).

Uses coal to heat water into steam, the pressure release then powers the engine

Coal and Steam are credited for "powering" the 1st Industrial Revolution

Parts that were created to be identical in order to make it easier to fix the new machines

Nuts and Bolts

Sped up the textile industry

Made making clothes cheaper

Made cleaning cotton faster and more efficient

"What 50 slaves could do in a day now only takes 1"

Manufacture - using machines to build and create new products

Urban Life - crowded and dirty cities

Agriculture - farming and growing things

Plantations and Slavery

Southern Economy and the Cotton Git: the ability to clean more cotton meant they could grow more cotton which meant they needed more slaves

Northern Economy and the Steam Engine: the steam engine was the main power source for the new factories in the North which led to a boom in jobs/population (Urbanization-sudden growth of cities)
