Samuel was a skilled mechanic in british textile mills. He worked on british mills from an early age and not only did he know how to build mills but he also knew how to operate them. Slater soon visited moses brown a quaker capitalist who had a mill in pawtucket that wasn't doing well because its machinery constantly broke down. By 1793 in Pawtucket, Rhode Island Slater built what became the first successful textile mill in the United States that was powered by water.]]> 2022-09-14 17:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2296813337 gisellevasquez6 https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2296818858 American Manufacturers also benefited from the pioneering work of American inventor Eli Whitney. Whitney wanted to speed up the making of guns by having machines manufacture each part. All machine-made parts would be alike. Identical parts would fit together will all other parts and gunsmiths would not have build each gun from scratch. Interchangeable parts would save time and money. Due to the Government buying many guns Whitney went to Washington D.C to try and sell his first idea. In 1798, Whitney began producing muskets in the first factory to rely on interchangeable parts, the idea of this spread rapidly. With such machines, small workshops grew into factories.]]> 2022-09-14 17:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2296818858 gisellevasquez6 https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2296826882 The War of 1812 was fought by the United states of american and its indigenous allies against the United Kingdom over british violations of U.S maritime rights.

Earlier plows made of iron or wood had to be pulled from oxen, which were strong but slow. A horse, less strong but faster than an ox, could pull a steel plow through a field more quickly.]]> 2022-09-14 17:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2296832416 gisellevasquez6 https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2296833560 In 1834, Philo Stewart developed a cast iron stove small enough for use in an average kitchen. His factory-built wood-burning stove was a great success. About 90,000 were sold. The cast iron stove was only one sign of the way northern factories were changing the lives of ordinary people.]]> 2022-09-14 17:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2296833560 gisellevasquez6 https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2296835185 In 1847, Cyrus McCormick opened a factory in Chicago that produced mechanical reapers. The reaper was a horse drawn machine that cut and gathered wheat and other grains. McCormick's reaper could do the work of five people using hand tools. Other farm machines followed. There was a mechanical drill to plant grain, a threshing machine to beat grain with fewer hands. And as a result thousands of workers left the countryside. ]]> 2022-09-14 17:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2296835185 gisellevasquez6 https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2298715142 During the war of 1812, Francis Cabot Lowell a boston merchant found a way to improve on British textile mills. The new mill that he made in Waltham, Massachusetts, had all the machines needed to turn raw cotton into finished cloth. After lowell's death, his partners built and entire factory town and named it after him. To work on the new mills, the company hired young women from nearby farms. The lowell girls, as they came to be called, usually worked for a few years in the mills before returning home to marry. These young women, and women like them in other mill towns, made an important economic contribution to american society by providing labor for the Industrial Revolution. ]]> 2022-09-15 17:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellevasquez6/mayye57fidevhgtb/wish/2298715142
