Eli Whitney & Interchangeable Parts

Erik Irvin & Troy Pearlman

Eli Whitney

• In 1798 addressed some tool problems• Gave officials a proposal for mass-production

of guns by using water powered machinery• Made water powered machines• Also came up with the idea of interchangeable

parts

Interchangeable Parts

• Parts of a machine that are identical • Using these interchangeable parts made

machines easier to repair and replace broken parts

• Whitney promised to build 10,000 muskets in 2 years with the machines

• He got money to build his own factory in 1801

Influence

• Whitney proved the British technology could be improved

• Mass-production became the efficient production of large numbers of identical goods

Steamboats

By: Wesley Olsen, and Taylor Goldberg

The Beginning • In 1803 Robert Fulton tested the

first steamboat in France, several years later he tested the first full sized steamboat. It was called the Clermont.

• The steamboat could move upriver easily and did not rely on wind power which meant they could carried more goods and people with additional efficiency

• They burned coal to fuel the engine.

improvements

• Henry shreve created a steamboat with an engine on the upper deck allowing the boat to draw in less water and navigate easier and safer

• In 1824 the court reinforced the federal governments authority to regulate the river/water control over states ending monopolies

The Future

The steam boat made a big step for us InTechnology and economy which keeps us moving forward. Steamboats has allowed us to be able to make improvements and better means of transportations

Cotton Gin

By: Kristin Kroh and Jackie Salantri

• The Cotton Gin is a machine that removes seeds from short staple cotton.

• It use’s a hand crank cylinder with wired teeth, that separates the seeds and cotton fibers.

Anti Immigration Movements

Long ago in a land far away immigrants went to the Midwest to live out their days

They went to get farms and to become laborers, many Americans did not like their new cultures

Americans were protestants before Catholics came, native born Americans felt they weren’t the same

The Know-Nothing party, a political group, treated the immigrants like they were poop

The Know Nothing politicians made difficult laws to prevent foreigner to be citizens to do what they want

They had to live in here for 21 years to become citizens but the know-nothings fell apart due to slavery disagreements

TEMPERANCE ACT Jenny Salvatore

Kelly Viola

TEMPERANCE ACT The temperance movement was

marked by an undercurrent of ethnic and religious hostility.

Some of the first advocates were people of Anglo-Saxon heritage who associated alcohol with the growing number of Catholic immigrants from Ireland and the European continent.

Supposedly, the Catholics were loud and boisterous as a result of too much drinking.

According to these activists, the consumption of alcohol was responsible for many personal and societal problems, including unemployment, absenteeism in the workplace, and physical violence.

TEMPERANCE ACT Congress enacted the Lever Act of

1917 (40 Stat. 276) to outlaw the use of grain in the manufacture of alcoholic beverages, and many state and local governments passed laws prohibiting the distribution and consumption of alcohol.

The Temperance Movement began in the Nineteenth Century.

It had an unprecedented agreement to reform the agitation.

They accepted the consumption of alcoholic beverages. It was an attack of the ignited popular enthusiasm.

This all took place in the United Sates.

WOMEN'S GROUPS Groups such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and the Anti-Saloon League were at the forefront of the onslaught on alcohol.

Members of these groups spoke publicly in favor of Prohibition and lobbied elected officials for laws banning the consumption of alcohol.

Some of the more active members disrupted business at saloons and liquor stores
