Being the first one to do this, he was known as the "Father of the American Industrial Revolution".]]> 2018-02-09 10:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aidan_dick/zc77ap04m7pe/wish/229965180 Sitting back and relaxing https://padlet.com/aidan_dick/zc77ap04m7pe/wish/229966798 With all of these new industrial cotton mills, to be a successful farmer, you had to own one. In the South, farmers "hired" hundreds of slaves to work in their factories. So while the poor slaves were doing all of the work, the Farmers were the ones getting paid. In the north, they didn't have slaves, but there was something very similar. They would get people of any race and age, and they were allowed to pay them any wage. A lot of the people working at these places were very young.]]> 2018-02-09 10:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/aidan_dick/zc77ap04m7pe/wish/229966798 How did it make things easier? forrest_love https://padlet.com/aidan_dick/zc77ap04m7pe/wish/229969301 There were already cotton farms in America, but they were very slowly produced because one man would thin it out and do everything necessary for it to be in its best condition. Overtime, people developed things that made it easier, but none was better than the Industrial factory. ]]> 2018-02-09 11:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aidan_dick/zc77ap04m7pe/wish/229969301 Bibliography forrest_love https://padlet.com/aidan_dick/zc77ap04m7pe/wish/229970056 The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica. “Steam Engine.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 7 Dec. 2017, www.britannica.com/technology/steam-engine.
