This invention would save time and money because all the parts of the weapon would be made alike. This would help stop the gunsmith from going through the time and trouble of making a new gun from scratch . ]]> 2023-09-12 16:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2700256988 alyssabethydock https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2700270340 During the year 1764 James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny. Unlike the spinning wheel, the Spinning Jenny was a machine that could spool several threads at once. This saved workers time and helped them produce more cloth in a day than was possible before this new invention. ]]> 2023-09-12 16:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2700270340 alyssabethydock https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702379051 During the year of 1812 Francis Cabot Lowell came up with a way to improve the British textile mills. His idea was to put both spinning and weaving under one factory roof, instead of having two different factories. The first factory of this style was built in Waltham, Massachusetts. After Lowell's death, his partners took on bigger projects.One of these was a factory town established in 1821 named after Lowell.  ]]> 2023-09-13 15:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702379051 alyssabethydock https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702397287 Around 1836 more than 10,000 people lived in this town. Since the town was comprised of factories they needed people to work the mills, which leads to the Lowell girls. They were mainly young women, who would work in the mills 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and live in the company boarding house. The workers would earn daily or weekly wages. ]]> 2023-09-13 16:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702397287 alyssabethydock https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702405901 Many boys and girls who lived in these factory towns also worked in the factories. Children as young as seven were used to help switch out broken parts from machines, since they could fit in small spaces. They were also compensated for their work to help support their families. ]]> 2023-09-13 16:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702405901 alyssabethydock https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702418628 In the year 1847, Cyrus McCormick started a factory that made Mechanical reapers.  The reaper was a horse drawn machine that cut and gathered wheat, saving workers more time.]]> 2023-09-13 16:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702418628 alyssabethydock https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702711744 Urbanization was a steady but gradual process, it grew as the industry grew. Most towns were not ready for as many people that came.Some towns had no sewage, so garbage would pollute the street and the water. This problem resulted in a lot of people's deaths because they had gotten sick with cholera. ]]> 2023-09-13 19:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2702711744 alyssabethydock https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2704469911 The mechanical drill was another farm machine that was invented. This drill would plant grain. Machines like these helped farmers of that time raise more grains with fewer hands. ]]> 2023-09-14 15:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2704469911 alyssabethydock https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2704486725 In the year 1789 Samuel Slater moved from Britain to the USA, taking all the information he learned by working in the British mills and taking it to the states. He knew how to build the machines and how to use them. He later worked with a quaker who owned a mill in Pawtucket. Slater shared his knowledge and helped make one of the first successful textile mills powered by water in America. ]]> 2023-09-14 16:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2704486725 alyssabethydock https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2704497259 The steel plow was made by John deere in 1824. the steal plow helped speed up the process because it was lighter than a Iron plow and could be pulled by a horse.]]> 2023-09-14 16:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssabethydock/n095n8hw069ry9op/wish/2704497259
