spending more on manufactured goods. The new technological advantages that created Britain’s largest cotton textile mill led to new productions and social relationships among customers. Therefore, people were easily making the transitions to the new factory systems that were being provided. James Hargreaves finally invented a cotton-spinning machine and this was one of the major breakthroughs in the cotton textile industry. It was simple and inexpensive. There were also new advantages such as the invention

An example of her talking to the men was, “If the mothers and the teachers in Georgia could vote, would the Georgia Legislature have refused at every session for the last three years to stop the work in the mills of children under twelve years of age?” and “Would the New Jersey Legislature have passed that shameful repeal bill enabling girls of fourteen years to work all night, if the mothers in New Jersey were enfranchised?” In these quotes she was saying

Inventions during the European Industrial Revolution There are many inventions during the European Industrial Revolution that impacts society for Europeans. There are inventions that made other inventions better and also inventions that revolutionized inventions that we already possessed. A man named James Kay in 1733 invented one of the inventions called the Flying Shuttle. He built it, supposedly, with nothing more that a pocketknife and his tool. The flying shuttle improved on the old hand loom

The factories and the mills are a mixed blessing. They drastically changed the way we live and work, but also introduced a variety of problems. I am a female factory worker in London. Thousands of families migrated into the city in hope of better life and prosperity. A million people now live in London. The city has quadrupled in size. More about urbanization?? The factories brought us job opportunities and increased the production of goods. Inventions and ideas are still being introduced to us left

So later the mills starter not to work anymore because they were getting so old. So Samuel Slater had to make new changes to them so people could use them again.

The aforementioned revealed that “Approximately 2 million children were working in mills, mines, fields, factories, stores, and on city streets across the United States.” (General Records of the United States Government).Social reformers began their search for a solution and a way to involve everyone in such methods. An example of their

It was not rare to find kids working for long days and hours in mills or factories or other places of trade. It was called child labor. Many families lived off of the income that their kids brought home every day. Concern from the public about the fact that these kids had to work so much and so hard began to rise. Supporters for child labor laws proved that children who worked such long days, such as 26-27 hours a week, were always rundown, depressed, and deprived of real education, fresh air, and

mechanization, urbanization, industrialization, poverty, labor shortages, and lack of regulation were the primary causes for this increase in child labor. Children, as young as three years old, worked from sunrise to sunset in factories, mines, fields, and mills where conditions were excruciating. The arduous work resulted in myriad deleterious effects, namely, afflictive injuries, pitiful deaths, and bleak futures. In order to curtail the abusive conditions, numerous people championed the rights of child
