Industrial Revolution Industrial Revolution: During the 1800’s farmers and city workers stopped working by hand and began to use machines. Before After
Industrial Revolution Assembly Line: Each person in a factory has a small job they do over and over and as each person does their job the product is completed. Specialization of Labor: Each person in a factory has a specialized job they do over and over.
Industrial Revolution Mass Produce: When one thing in a factory can be made many times cheaply.
Industrial Revolution The steam engine allowed factories to run all day and night, boats to move and large farm equipment to get more jobs done. In the US, the most important use of the steam engine was for trains.
Industrial Revolution In 1869, the USA finished the “Trans-Continental Railroad” a rail line that went from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Industrial Revolution Since things could be made so easily and for so cheaply, more resources were needed- mainly coal. “Industrialized” countries like Great Britain in Europe and the USA began to expand their economies in search of people to buy their products. Sadly, because of the US Civil War, the US had shown that Industrialization could be used for weapons and war. The world changed greatly, because the only thing that mattered for countries now, was how industrialized they were. Industrialized countries in the 1800’s colonized much of the rest of the world.
Urbanization Urbanization: When people during the IR began to move off of farms and into cities.
Urbanization Since new machines meant that farmers could grow more crops with less people- not as many people were needed to work the land – so they moved to cities to find jobs in factories in the late 1800’s and cities grew.
