  2. Industrialization and Working Conditions

  3. I. Industrialization Spreads A. Industry comes to America • Samuel Slater a young millworker arrived to America from Britain in 1789. • He used his knowledge of the machinery created by water frame inventor Richard Arkwright for combing and spinning cotton  his mill opened in 1793 in Rhode Island • Textile mills spread throughout New England- ex. Lowell, Massachusetts where 10,000 workers were employed in the Mills by 1850.

  4. I. Industrialization Spreads Cont. B. Industry spreads to Europe • William Cockerill brought industry to continental Europe opening a textile factory in Belgium in 1807. • France’s industrialization was delayed until 1848- explain what brought this about? • No central government prevented the support of Industry in Germany until railroads made it possible in 1850.

  5. Industrialization Spreads Cont. C. Industry in Asia • Industrialization came after 1868 when the Meiji government came to power and modernized Japans economy • China, India, and Russia did not industrialize until the 1900s

  6. II. Working Conditions in Britain A. Three main levels of participation • 1. Wealthy business people to invest in and own the factories • 2. Mid-level employees to run and supervise the day-to-day operations • 3. Low-level employees to run the machines.

  7. II. Working Conditions in Britain Cont. B. Changing Labor Conditions • Businesses were not regulated by the government there were no laws about hours, safety, or child labor • Early 1800s British workers formed labor unions to represent the issues of the workers • Parliament soon banned unions and strikes (work stoppages)—what do you think their reason was for this action? • 1832- Sadler Report described abuses in factories and led to Parliament passing laws that limited work hours and require child workers be at least nine years old. • 1871- labor unions became legalized in Britain

  8. II. Working Conditions in Britain Cont C. Process of Mass Production- System of manufacturing large numbers of identical items • Interchangeable parts- identical machine made parts made production and repair more efficient. • Assembly Line- division of labor that increased production
