Then along came the Industrial Revolution and put an end to all that. The factory smoke blotted out the sun, demands of industry destroyed our innocence and long working hours took away any chance we had of finding pleasure in leisure. In fact, for most people there never was such a golden age. High days and holidays were strictly rationed. Apart from hiring fairs and annual rushbearing ceremonies, most people were far too busy trying to make ends meet to think overmuch about enjoying themselves. But the Industrial Revolution certainly made matters worse. If you work 14 or 15 hours a day in a factory, there is precious little time left for anything other than eating and sleeping.

At the start of the Industrial Revolution none of these laws existed and so working in a factory could prove to be very dangerous indeed. This section looks at some of the conditions faced by workers and offers a brief explanation of what was done to improve these conditions. Not all factories were as bad as the scenario highlighted above. Robert owen and Titus salt for example were both regarded as good employers in this respect. They were amongst a group of people who were known as reformers. These people wanted changes to the way that factories were run. They faced opposition from other mill owners who knew that reforms would cost them money and give the workers more rights. (They wanted to make as much profit as possible remember, that is the purpose of manufacturing in a capitalist country).

Children during the Industrial Revolution. At the start of the industrial Revolution there was no legislation about working conditions in mills, factories or othe industrial plants. They simply had not been needed before. As factories spread rapidly the owners of mills, mines and other forms of industry needed large numbers of workers and they didn't want to have to pay them a high wage. Children were the ideal employees therefore! They were cheap, weren't big nough or educated enoguh to argue or complain and were small enough to fit between tight fitting machinery that adults couldn't get between. Children soon ended up working in all types of industry.

    Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History The term Industrial Revolution is used to describe profound economic transformations resulting from the introduction of new technologies of production. Although technological innovation has been a continuous process, in the transformation of societies from agricultural, commercial, and rural to industrial and urban, two revolutionary periods stand out. The First Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the last decades of the eighteenth century. It resulted from the rapid adoption of three new technologies—the steam engine, relying on the energy of the fossil fuel, coal; machines for spinning thread and weaving cloth and increasingly driven by steam rather than water power; and furnaces—blast, puddling, and rolling—to make iron ore into finished metal by using coal. The Second Industrial Revolution began about a century later and was centered in the United States and Germany. It resulted from a wave of innovations in the production of metals and other materials, machinery, chemicals, and foodstuffs. The First Industrial Revolution altered the direction and hastened the growth of the American economy. The Second transformed that economy into its modern urban industrial form. The coming of the First Industrial Revolution in Britain had as significant an impact on American economic life as did the contemporary political revolution that brought the country's independence. The significance of the economic transformation, however, became clear only after more than two decades of warfare between Britain and France ceased in 1815. Then the United States became the major source of cotton for Britain's yarn and the foremost market for Britain's finished yarn and cloth as well as a major market for its iron and hardware industries. The voracious demand of British mills for raw cotton drove the slave plantation westward, and the marketing and shipping of textiles and hardware into the country through New York quickly made that city the nation's largest commercial center.

    Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations Reader's Companion to U.S. Women's History The Industrial Revolution transformed women's lives. A worldwide economic and social revolution, industrialization in the United States began in New England in the 1790s and integrated women into an emergent industrial capitalist society. Industrialization in the antebellum era occurred as the result of two distinct processes. The first, the rise of the factory system, had its greatest impact on northern textile manufacture. The second, the development of the more labor-intensive sweating system, which kept production decentralized in households and small shops, was vital to the growth of the garment, hat, box, glove, and flower industries. In preindustrial America, women and girls performed much of the labor necessary for family survival, including the household manufacture of yarn, cloth, candles, and food. By 1790 the availability of water-powered machinery such as spinning frames and carding machines enabled businessmen to substitute power tools for women's hand labor in the manufacture of cloth. In December 1790 the first water-powered spinning mill opened its doors in Pawtucket, Rhode Island; by 1813, 175 other cotton and wool spinning mills, employing entire families, punctuated the river-rich New England landscape. Ironically, early mills increased the market value of women's household labor. Mechanizing only some of the most labor-intensive steps of textile production, spinning mills paid women at home to weave factory-manufactured yarn into marketable cloth. (The arrangement whereby labor was contracted out to women by local merchants, manufacturers, or middlemen was, and continues to be, known as "outwork" or the "putting out system.") As late as 1820, two-thirds of all cloth manufactured in the United States was produced by women working at home.

The Industrial Revolution was the result of many fundamental, interrelated changes that transformed agricultural economies into industrial ones. The most immediate changes were in the nature of production: what was produced, as well as where and how. Goods that had traditionally been made in the home or in small workshops began to be manufactured in the factory. Productivity and technical efficiency grew dramatically, in part through the systematic application of scientific and practical knowledge to the

Businesses had always enjoyed considerable power in their relationships with the labor force, but the balance tipped even more in their favor as firms grew larger.

Rapid industrialization transformed the lives of English men and women after 1750, and changes in cotton textiles were at the heart of this process. The manufacture and export of various cloths were vital to the English economy in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Before the Industrial Revolution, textiles were produced under the putting-out system, in which merchant clothiers had their work done in the homes of artisans or farming families. Production was limited by reliance on the spinning wheel and the hand loom; increases in output required more hand workers at each stage. Invention dramatically changed the nature of textile work. The flying shuttle, patented by John Kay in 1733, increased the output of each weaver and led to increased demand for yarn. This prompted efforts by others to mechanize the spinning of yarn. The first advance came in 1767, when James Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny, allowing one spinner to produce several yarns at a time. Two years later Richard Arkwright patented the water frame, a spinning machine that produced a coarse, twisted yarn and could be powered by water. Coupled with the carding machine, the Arkwright spinning frame ushered in the modern factory.

    Extractions: The rapid growth of new technology in Europe during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries led to the period which is now known as the Industrial Revolution. Large machinery and rising demand for products quickly led to the growth of the factory system. Factories required massive numbers of workers and displaced rural workers flocked to the cities to fill these positions. The owners of these factories had a huge labor supply available to them and no incentive to look out for the employees' safety or health. If one worker was injured he or she was easily replaced. In working class families, the social norms of the time expected that children would contribute to the family's income by working. Edward Baines' book History of Cotton Manufacture In working class families, the social norms of the time expected that children would contribute to the family's income by working. Children had always worked along side parents in agricultural communities. As these families moved to cities they continued to expect children to contribute to the family income. Children as young as five or six were sent to work in factories. The problem was that in taking child labor outside the family, children were placed under the supervision of an overseer rather than a parent. The demands of their jobs were constant as opposed to agricultural labor which had allowed some ability to break from work. Factory laborers endured sixteen hour work days and were for the first time in their lives expected to live according to a clock.
