18
Q

Industrialization

A

which is the process of developing machine production of goods, required such natural resources as
water power and coal to fuel the new machines
• iron ore to construct machines, tools, and buildings
• rivers for inland transportation
• harbors from which merchant ships set sail

19
Q

Why was the Factory System developed?

A
  • Developed to replace the domestic system of production, it was a faster method of production
20
Q

A
  • Workers concentrated in a set location
  • Production anticipated demand
    For example: Under the domestic system, a woman might select fabric and have a businessperson give it to a home-based worker to make it into a dress. Under the factory system. The factory owner bought large lots of popular fabrics and had workers create multiple dresses in common sizes, anticipating that women would buy them.

  • hand tools
22
Q

Domestic system location

A

home

23
Q

Domestic system ownership and kinds of tools

A

Small hand tools owned by worker

24
Q

25
Q
A

A
  • Large power driven machines owned by the capatilist
32
Q

A
  • Large level of production
  • Sold to a worldwide market
  • Manufactured in anticipation of demand
33
Q

Factory system nature of work done by worker

A
  • Worker typically made one part of the larger whole
  • Henry Ford’s assembly line (early 20th century() kept workers stationary

Factory system Worker dependence on employer

A
  • Worker relied entirely on capitalist for his.her income- urban living made personal farming and gardening impractical
36
Q

Why the Industrial Revolution started in england

A
  • Capital for investing in the means of production
  • Colonies and markets for manufactured goods
  • Raw materials for production
  • Workers
  • Merchant marine
  • Geography
37
Q

England’s Resources: Capital

A
  • merchants had the capital to invest in the factory system money to buy buildings, machinery and raw materials
  • Its colonies gave England access to enormous markets and vast amounts of raw materials
  • possesed the necessary raw materials to create the means of production (coal, iron)
  • English people could freely travel from the countryside to the cities
  • World’s largest merchant fleet

  • Damp climate benefited the textile industry (thread did not dry out)
  • Government stable
  • No internal trade barriers
39
Q

Inventions Spur Industrialization

A
  • Weavers work faster- flying shuttles/spinning jennies
    Water frame uses H20 to drive spinning whells
  • Power loom- Spinning mules sped up production
  • Move machinery to factories
40
Q

Necessity is the mother of invention

A

Spinning machine -> need to spped up weaving -> Power loom created

Cotton gin => demands for stronger iron -> Improvments in iron smelting and the development of steel (EBessmer process)

41
Q

As more steam- powered machines were built, factories needed more coal to create this system
