The  Industrial  Revolution  in  America  (12.1)    

       Vocabulary:  

     Notes:  

Industrial  Revolution    

• A  period  of  rapid  growth  in  using  machines  for  manufacturing  and  production  that  began  in  the  mid-­‐1700s.  

 • First  breakthrough  in  the  industrial  revolution  was  how  textiles  (cloth  goods)  were  made.  

 • Richard  Arkwright  –  invented  spinning  machine  (1769)  called  water  frame  

o used  water  power  o lowered  cost  of  cotton  and  increased  textile  production.  

• Textile  mills  built  near  rivers  and  streams.    

• Samuel  Slater  memorized  British  textile  machine  designs  brought  o  U.S.  

   

• U.S.  factories  need  better  technology  (tools)  to  make  muskets  • Eli  Whitney  introduced  the  idea  of  Interchangeable  parts,  identical  parts  of  a  machine,  to  make  manufacturing  easier.  

• Interchangeable  parts  speeds  up  process  of  mass  production.    

• British  prices  on  manufactured  goods  were  lower,  hurt  American  manufacturing.  

• War  of  1812  cut  trade  with  Great  Britain,  allowing  United  States  manufacturing  to  prosper

• In  1832  Samuel  F.B.  Morse  perfects  the  telegraph.  o Did  not  catch  on  until  the  1844  Democratic  Convention  sent  their  nomination  to  Washington  using  a  telegraph  

• A  Morse  associate  created  Morse  Code  to  communicate  messages  over  wires.  

o Morse  Code  turns  pulses  of  electric  current  into  long  and  short  clicks  (A.K.A.  dots  and  dashes)  arranged  into  patters  representing  the  alphabet.  

• Telegraph  was  significant  because  it  allowed  people  to  send  news  quickly  from  coast  to  coast  

• Telegraph  grew  with  the  railroad    

• Shift  from  water  power  to  steam  allowed  owners  to  build  factories  anywhere  

• Factories  shifted  closer  to  cities  and  transportation  centers    

• John  Deere  designed  a  steel  plow  in  1837  to  replace  the  iron  plow

Growth  of  the  Cotton  Industry  (13.1)    

     Instructions:    After  reading  the  following  text,  underline  any  important  facts  you  see  that  might  be  used            for  note  taking.    After  the  class  finishes,  we  will  review  what  Mr.  Mize  sees  as  important  to  see  where  we          are  similar  and  highlight  those  points  within  the  text.  

     Once  we  finish  discussion,  write  down  the  information,  in  Cornell  Notes  format,  on  the  next  page.        Let’s  try  one  more  time.    Underline  important  facts  you  find  within  the  text.  

     Again,  write  down  what  we  have  highlighted  on  the  next  page.  Next,  you  will  read  the  following  text,              underlining  what  you  feel  would  be  information  needed  for  your  notes.    You  will  then  compare  with  a          partner.    Whatever  you  have  the  same  you  will  highlight  and  then  write  down  on  the  next  page.    Be  sure  to          write  the  section  title  (main  idea)  on  the  left  and  note  bullets  on  the  right.    

Reviving  the  South’s  Economy  Before  the  American  Revolution,  three  crops  dominated  southern  agriculture  –  tobacco,  rice,  

and  indigo.  These  crops,  produced  mostly  by  enslaved  African  Americans,  played  a  central  role  in  the  southern  economy  and  culture.     After  the  American  Revolution,  however,  prices  for  tobacco,  rice,  and  indigo  dropped.  When  crop  prices  fell,  the  demand  for  and  price  of  slaves  also  went  down.  In  an  effort  to  protect  their  incomes,  many  farmers  tried,  with  little  success,  to  grow  other  crops  that  needed  less  labor.  Soon,  however,  cotton  would  transform  the  southern  economy  and  greatly  increase  the  demand  for  slave  labor.    

Cotton  Becomes  Profitable     Cotton  had  been  grown  in  the  New  World  for  centuries,  but  it  had  not  been  a  very  profitable  crop.  Before  cotton  could  be  spun  into  thread  for  weaving  into  cloth,  the  seeds  had  to  be  removed  from  the  cotton  fibers.     Long-­‐staples  cotton,  also  called  black-­‐seed  cotton,  was  fairly  easy  to  process.  Workers  could  pick  the  seeds  from  the  cotton  with  relative  ease.  But  long-­‐staple  cotton  grew  well  in  only  a  few  places  in  the  South.  More  common  was  short-­‐staple  cotton,  which  was  also  known  as  green-­‐seed  cotton.  Removing  the  seeds  from  this  cotton  was  difficult  and  time  consuming.  A  worker  could  spend  an  entire  day  picking  the  seeds  from  a  single  point  of  short-­‐staple  cotton.     By  the  early  1790s  the  demand  for  American  cotton  began  increasing  rapidly.  For  instance,  in  Great  Britain,  new  textile  factories  needed  raw  cotton  that  could  be  used  for  making  cloth,  and  American  cotton  producers  could  not  keep  up  with  the  high  demand  for  their  cotton.  These  producers  of  cotton  needed  a  machine  that  could  remove  the  seeds  from  the  cotton  more  rapidly.    

Eli  Whitney’s  Cotton  Gin     Northerner  Eli  Whitney  finally  patented  such  a  machine  in  1793.  The  year  before,  Whitney  had  visited  a  Georgia  plantation  owned  by  Catherine  Greene  where  workers  were  using  a  machine  that  removed  seeds  from  long-­‐staple  cotton.  This  machine  did  not  work  well  on  short-­‐staple  cotton,  and  Greene  asked  Whitney  if  he  could  improve  it.  By  the  next  spring,  Whitney  had  perfected  his  design  for  the  cotton  gin,  a  machine  that  removes  seeds  from  short-­‐staple  cotton.  The  cotton  gin  used  a  hand-­‐cranked  cylinder  with  wire  teeth  to  pull  cotton  fibers  from  the  seeds.     Whitney  hoped  to  keep  the  design  of  the  gin  a  secret,  but  the  machine  was  so  useful  that  other  manufacturers  often  ignored  his  patent.     Whitney’s  gin  revolutionized  the  cotton  industry.  Planters,  large-­‐scale  farmers  who  held  more  than  20  slaves,  built  cotton  gins  that  could  process  tons  of  cotton  much  faster  than  hand  processing.  A  healthy  crop  almost  guaranteed  financial  success  because  of  the  high  demand  from  the  textile  industry.
