Ideas The Industrial Revolution of the 18th century was a period of social and technological change in which manufacturing began to rely on steam power rather than on water or wind. The causes of the Industrial Revolution remain a topic for debate with some historians seeing it as an outgrowth from the social changes of the Enlightenment and the colonial expansion of the 17th century. The Industrial Revolution began in the Midlands area of England and spread throughout England and into continental Europe and the northern United States in the 19th century. Before the improvements made to the pre-existing steam engine by James Watt and others, all manufacturing had to rely for power on wind or water mills or muscle power produced by animals or humans. But with the ability to translate the potential energy of steam into mechanical force, a factory could be built away from streams and rivers, and many tasks that had been done by hand in the past could be mechanized. If, for example, a lumber mill had been limited in the number of logs it could cut in a day due to the amount of water and pressure available to turn the wheels, the steam engine eliminated that dependence. Grain mills, thread and clothing mills, and wind driven water pumps could all be converted to steam power as well.

    Extractions: Child labor in factories A new workforce during the Industrial Revolution Introduction Wages and Hours Treatment Movements to Regulate Child labor ... Bibliography When the industrial revolution first came to Britain and the U.S., there was a high demand for labor. Families quickly migrated from the rural farm areas to the newly industrialized cities to find work. Once they got there, things did not look as bright as they did. To survive in even the lowest level of poverty, families had to have every able member of the family go to work. This led to the high rise in child labor in factories. Children were not treated well, overworked, and underpaid for a long time before anyone tried to change things for them. Wages and Hours:

    Extractions: During the period known as the Industrial Revolution, we can see four distinct divisions. The first division, from 1730 to 1770 was the period of time when men such as Watt developed the woolen spinner, Kay gave us the flying shuttle, and Hargreaves the spinning jenny, all of which made the work of producing textiles faster and more efficient. It was also during this time period that Watt developed a steam engine which was more efficient and much and safer than the engine developed by Thomas Newcomen in 1705. It is important to note that, at this time, steam power was not put to use in the textile industries. They still relied on water power. In the second period, extending from 1770 to 1792, the mechanical devices of the previous period were improved upon. The further advances during this time were to aid the cotton industry. Two important mechanical devices developed here were Crompton's spinning mule and later, Cartwright's power loom. The major problem that faced further industrialization at this time was a need to find something powerful enough to drive this new machinery. other than the water wheel which hampered the marketing of the woolen and cotton goods produced. Factories could only exist where there was a constant water supply. At the onset of the third period , 1792 to 1830, steam power began to be applied to the earlier mechanical devices, making their use more efficient and widespread. In addition to using

    Extractions: Lecture 17 The Origins of the Industrial Revolution in England The political and moral advantages of this country, as a seat of manufactures, are not less remarkable than its physical advantages. The arts are the daughters of peace and liberty. In no country have these blessings been enjoyed in so high degree, or for so long a continuance, as in England. Under the reign of of just laws, personal liberty and property have been secure; mercantile enterprise has been allowed to reap its reward; capital has accumulated in safety; the workman has "gone forth to his work and to his labour until the evening;" and, thus protected and favoured, the manufacturing prosperity of the country has struck its roots deep, and spread forth its branches to the ends of the earth. [Edward Baines, The History of the Cotton Manufacture in Great Britain . [David Landes, The Unbound Prometheus The Origins of Modern English Society, 1780-1880 The INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION can be said to have made the European working-class. It made the European middle-class as well. In the wake of the Revolution, new social relationships appeared. As

    Extractions: Factories in the Industrial Revolution Richard Arkwright is the person credited with being the brains behind the growth of factories. After he patented his spinning frame in 1769, he created the first true factory at Cromford, near Derby. This act was to change Great Britain. Before very long, this factory employed over 300 people. Nothing had ever been seen like this before. The domestic system only needed two to three people working in their own home. By 1789, the Cromford mill employed 800 people. With the exception of a few engineers in the factory, the bulk of the work force were essentially unskilled. They had their own job to do over a set number of hours. Whereas those in the domestic system could work their own hours and enjoyed a degree of flexibility, those in the factories were governed by a clock and factory rules. Edmund Cartwright's power loom ended the life style of skilled weavers. In the 1790's, weavers were well paid. Within 30 years many had become labourers in factories as their skill had now been taken over by machines. In 1813, there were only 2,400 power looms in Britain. by 1850, there were 250,000. Factories were run for profit. Any form of machine safety guard cost money. As a result there were no safety guards. Safety clothing was non-existant. Workers wore their normal day-to-day clothes. In this era, clothes were frequently loose and an obvious danger.

    Extractions: Living and Working Conditions During the Industrial Revolution The initial stages of the Industrial Revolution had a substantial effect on the living and working conditions of workers. A large labor surplus led to very low wages, and extreme competition lowered the profit margins of industrialists. Factory and mine operators reacted to this by lowering the cost of operation, often leading to difficult, if not horrible, working conditions. Relief for workers finally came as a result of many factors: the growth of the labor movement, government regluation, the improved buying power that resulted from massive increases in worker productivity that had been enhanced by new technologies, and the realization by many employers that a humanely treated worker was more productive. At the same time, the life of the middle class became more and more comfortable. New inventions and products encouraged new habits of consumerism. Travel became easier, and leisure activities became very popular. Health and diet improved, and new public health programs lessened the threat of epidemics. A new optimism grew, based on the idea that these improvements would continue as a result of the development of new technology.

    Extractions: The Cause of the Industrial Revolution By Patricia Ryaby Backer Causes of the Industrial Revolution The most common explanation for the cause of the Industrial Revolution was that certain technologies (the steam engine and textile technologies in particular) created a fundamental change in the way work was done. Recently, there have been other rationales given for the cause of the Industrial Revolution. Three of the more well-known rationales are discussed separately. . The traditional, and probably most popular, view of the cause of the Industrial Revolution was that these changes took place because of one fundamental invention that many historians attribute as the foremost cause of the Industrial Revolution, the steam engine developed by James Watt. The steam engine allowed the transformation of fuel into mechanical work. In a steam engine, fuel (usually wood or coal at this time) is burned; the heat that this fuel produces is used to turn water into steam; this steam is used to drive wheels in the engine. Steam engines were first used in coal and ore mines to pump water out of them. After James Watt improved the design of the steam engine, this type of engine quickly was applied to other industriesto power railroad locomotives, ships, and later the first automobiles. Capitalistic causes of the Industrial Revolution Jacob (1988) proposes another way of looking at the cause of the Industrial Revolution that is derived from comparing the different industrial societies in Europe at the time of the Industrial Revolution. Jacob notes that, by the 1790s, industrialization had begun in certain places but not others. She attributes these differences in industrialization to the different cultures of the countries. Particularly, she notes the different levels of scientific knowledge in these different countries. In order to mechanize, she notes, men must be able to think mechanically. This ability to think mechanically was more common in British leaders who had access to capital, cheap labor, and steam power. In other countries that were advanced, particularly the Netherlands and France, the evidence suggest that similar men with power and resources did not have the knowledge to mechanize.

This transformation involved significant developments within the chemical electrical petroleum , and steel industries . By , the global market was already saturated with manufactured goods . Increasing production compounded the problem and was a factor leading up to the Long Depression and the so-called " New Imperialism The second industrial revolution is also called the second phase of the industrial revolution, since from a technological and a social point of view there is no clean break between the two revolutions. Many crucial inventions such as the Bessemer and the Siemens steel making processes were invented in the decades preceding 1871. One of the most crucial inventions for the communication of technical ideas in this period was the steam powered rotary printing press which was in fact a technological gift of the last decades of the first industrial revolution or first phase of the industrial revolution. The beginnings of wars offer a convenient milestone, since they have an impact on the capital needed to finance the useful application of new inventions. One might see the immediate beginnings of this period in the German annexation of Lorraine (an industrial area) following the Franco-Prussian War . In any case, Germany came to replace

    Extractions: or Prosperity But it is not only laymen who perceive the industrial revolution in terms of "dark, satanic mills." A brief glance at almost any university history or English textbook reveals that most academics who do not specifically study the industrial revolution accept without reservation the view that capitalism led to a deterioration of living conditions for the working class. For example, a text commonly used in college British literature classes describes the industrial revolution in these terms: For the great majority of the laboring class the results of the policy (of laissez faire) were inadequate wages, long hours of work under sordid conditions, and the large-scale employment of women and children for tasks which destroy body and soul. Reports from investigating committees on coal mines found male and female children ten or even five years of age harnessed to heavy coal-sledges which they dragged crawling on their hands and knees ... (Norton Anthology, p. 3). Such harsh interpretation of the industrial revolution has directly affected public policy. The industrial revolution has become a successful battle cry for detractors of capitalism. The specter of working class poverty and misery during the industrial revolution has been and still remains an important justification for government intervention into social and economic affairs. A vast amount of legislation, from minimum wage to antitrust laws, owes its existence to the anti-capitalist mentality created by pessimistic views of the industrial revolution. As Nobel laureate F.A. Hayek pointedly argues, the industrial revolution portrayed by the pessimists is the "one supreme myth which more than any other has served to discredit the economic system to which we owe our modern day civilization" (Hayek, pp. 9-10).
