The ndustrial Revolution was the great increase in production that began in England during the 18th century. Before the ndustrial Revolution, people made most goods qy hand. By the middle of the 1700s, more and more goods were made by machines. The ndustrial Revolution began with. an agricultural revolution. n the early 1700s, large landowners in Britain bought much ofthe land that had been owned by poorer farmers. The landowners collected these lands into large fields closed~in by fences or hedges. These fields were called enclosures. Many ofthe poor farmers who lost their lands became tenant farmers. Others gave up farming and moved to the cities. New fann methods made farmers more productive. For example, Jethro Tull invented a,seed drill that made planting more efficient Farmers also practiced crop rotation. Crop rotation is the practice ofplanting a different crop in a different field each year. The increase in farm output made more food available. People enjoyed better diets. The population of Britain grew. Fewer farmers were needed to grow food. Original content ~ Houghton Mimin Harcourt Publishing Company.

The English city of Manchester is a good example ofhow industrialization changed society. Rapid growth made the city crowded and filthy. The factory owners risked their money and worked long hours to make their businesses grow. n return, they enjoyed huge profits and built huge houses. The workers also worked long hours, but had few benefits. Many of these w<?rkers were children, some only six years old. The British government did not limit the use of children as workers until 1819. The large amount of industry in Manchester caused environmental problems. Coal smoke and cloth dyes' from the factories'polluted the air and water. Yet, Manchester also created many jobs, a variety of consumer goods, and great wealth:.. 3.

Other countries began to industrialize after Great Britain. The United States was one otthe first. Like Britain, the United States had a great deal of coal and water to create power. There was also plenty of iron. n addition, the immigrants that came. to the United States created a large supply ofworkers. The Uni.ted States also benefited from conflict with Britain. During the. War of 1812, Britain stopped shipping goods to the United States. As a result, American industries began to make many of the goods that Americans wanted. nthe United States, industrialization began in the textile industry. n 1789, Samuel Slater, a British worker, brought the secret of Britain's textile machines to North America. Slater built a machine to spin thread. ' n 1813, agroup ofmassachusetts investors built textile factories in Waltham, Massachusetts. Just a few years later they built even more factories in the Massachusetts town of Lowell. Thousands of workers, mostly young girls, came to these towns to work in the factories. American industry first grew in the Northeast. n the last decades ofthe 1800s,. industrial growth spread to other areas of the nation. This boom was fueled by large supplies of coal, oil, and iron. New,inventions, including the electric light, also helped. As in Britain, railroad building was also a big part of American industrial growth.. Businesses needed huge sums of money to do big projects. To raise money, companies sold stock. Stocks are shares of ownership in a company. All those who held stock were part owners ofthe company.

NDUSTRALZATON (Pages 300-301) What is capitalism? ndustrialization led to new ways of,thinking about society. Some economists thought that the government should leaye business owners alone. Their view is called laissez faire. Adam Smith argued that governments should not put limits on business. He and others, including British economists Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo, supported a system called capitalism. n a capitalist economy, people invest their money in businesses to make a profit. Smith and the others bel~ved that society would benefit over time from this system. Supporters oflaissez faine~opposed laws to protect workers. 1. How does capitalism work?. RSE OF SOCALSM; MARXSM; RADCAL SOCALSM (Pages 301-304) What. is socialism? Other thinkers challenged capitalism. One group was called the utilitarians.

Name Class Section 4, continued Date. The utilitarians thought it was unfair that workers should work so hard for such little pay and live in such poor conditions. They thought the government should work to end great differences in wealth among people. Some thinkers wanted society as a whole to own businesses. This way a few people would not grow wealthy at the expense of everyone else. nstead, all people would enjoy'the benefits of increased production. This view-called socialism-grew out of a belief in progress and a concern for justice. A German thinker named Karl Marx proposed a form ofsocialism thatbecame known as Marxism. He said that f~.ctory owners and workers would struggle for. power. Over time, he said, the capitalist system would destroy itself. The workers would rebel against the wealthy few. Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto. t described communism, a form of socialism in which production is controlled by the people. n the early 1900s, these ideas would bring revolution. 2. How are capitalism and socialism different? LABOR UNiONS AND REFORM LAWS (Pages 304-305) How did workers take action to improve their lives? While thinkers discussed these different ideas, workers fought to improve their lives. Many workers joined unions. A union is a group ofworkers that tries to bargain with employers for better pay and better working conditions. When employers resisted these efforts, the workers went on strike, or refused to work. British and American workers struggled for a long time to win the right to form unions. By the late 1800s, workers in both countries had made some progress. The British Parliament and reformers in the United States also tried to fix other social problems. Britain passed laws to limit how much work women and children could do. Groups in the United States pushed for similar laws. 3. How did both the government and workers themselves try to improve workers' lives? THE REFORM MOVEMENT SPREADS (Pages 305-306) What other reforms were taking place at this time? Another major reform movement ofthe 1800s was the effort to abolish slavery. The British Parliament ended the slave trade in 1807. ~t then abolished slavery throughout British territories in 1833. Slavery was finally abolished in the United States in 1865, after the Civil War. Spain ended slavery in Puerto Rico in 1873 and in Cuba in 1886. n 1888 Brazil became the last country to ban slavery. Women were active in many reform. movements. As they fought for the end of slavery, many women began to fight for equal rights for women. The movement began.in the United States in 1848. n 1888, women from around the world formed a group dedicated to this cause. Reformers took on other projects as well. Some pushed for-and wonimproved education. Others tried to improve conditions in prisons. 4. Name two major reform movements of the 1800s.

The United States expanded across North America and fought a bloody civil war. n the early 1800s the nation grew in size. t bought a huge piece of land from France in the Louisiana Purchase. t won a war with Mexico in the 1840s, and gained even more land. Many believed in manifest destinythe belief that the United States would control land from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. As white settlers moved farther west, Native Americans suffered. n the 1830s, thousands ofnative Americans were forced to move from their homes. in the East to the present state of Oklahoma. The growth ofthe nation raised serious questions. The Southern states used slave labor to grow crops such as cotton. People in the South hoped to extend slavery to the western lands.

The Southern states seceded, or pulled out of, the Union. The Southerners fonned their own nation' known as the Confederate States of America. War b~oke out after Confederate f01;ces fired on a Union fort in 1861. The fighting lasted four years. The North won the war. During the war, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. This proclamation declared that the people enslaved in the Confederate states were free. After the war, the ConstituJion was amended, or changed, to outlaw slavery. Another change to the Constitution made African Americans citizens. n the first few years after the war, newly freed AfriCan Americans enjoyed equal rights. But whites soon regained control ofthe governments ofthe Southern states. They passed laws 'that took away the rights ofblacks. The ~hite governments also set up segregation, or separation, ofblacks and whites. African Americans have continued to fight for ~quality since.then. 2. What changes came about as a result ofthe Civil War? THE POSTWAR ECONOMY (Page 327) What happened after the war? After the Civil War, the nation experienced quick industrial growth. A sharp rise in immigration from Europe and Asia helped cause this growth. By 1914, more than 20 million people had come to the United States. Many ofthese new citizens moved to the West. The government offered free land to people who moved there. n addition, Congress set as,ide money to build a railroad across the continent. The railroad linked the different regions of the nation. By 1900, nearly 200,000 miles oftrack crossed the country. The growth ofthe railroads helped American industry grow. 3. What helped cause the rise in industrial growth?
