Industrial revoultion

The Industrial revolution before the industrial Revolution people did thing together. Many people had wanted cotton but they couldn’t make it fast enough. In 1760 James Hargreaves and Richard Arkwright made a machine that when you turn the crank it made long rolls of cotton, but Richard Arkwright ran on water. Then a couple years later Eli Whitney had invented the cotton gin. He made it because he heardabout how hard it was to clean cotton he built a machine that could help them clean faster. When Eli had to provide 10,000 muskets in 28 months they a revolutionary started because people said that they should have made the guns the same so that they would be easier to fix. In 1801 Eli was recognized as “the Artist of the country” because when Thomas Jefferson watched Eli Whiney he could pick out parts and put them together.Eli was called the artist of his country because he could pick out parts and put them together. People had also found ways get goods around and travel faster with steam boats, canals and trains. Their problems were eventually solved.

In the industrial revolution people were inventing things to make their life easier. One thing that was invented was the woven machine which made people start working in the mills. Another inventor named Eli Whitney invented the cotton cleaner because people were complaining how much work it was to pick and clean cotton. He learned to make a musket by hand and people in the war were able to kill people they were fighting, but the most important invention was the John Bull. The John Bull made getting around easier and be on time. Unlike Samuel Slater’s and Eli Whitney’s invention the John Bull ran on water and could move about anywhere. These inventions were brought out and people who were living in other continents started to move to America. These inventions were great for people and the population grew.  Christyna Gauthier



In the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, everyone thought it was a bad idea. People would lose their driving jobs (stagecoaches, canal owners, and innkeepers), the buffalo would runaway (Native Americans ate them) and make pollution on their land, and the (farmer’s) crops would be polluted. It was Ted Judah’s idea and he didn’t stop building. He needed some money so he hired the “Big Four”. They gave him money to go to Washington D.C. and talk to Abraham Lincoln to buy land. Then he hired workers, but there were a lot of problems. They needed shelter, explosives, food, and water. Most of the workers were Chinese and they knew how to make explosives. Then there were new problems. The Native Americans attacked. After they finally let them build on their land, the Central and Union Pacific (the two railroad companies) had a race. Then the railroad was finally built. It affected many people’s lives forever.  -Abigail Sage




 * __he War Between The Bosses And The Workers . __**

in the 1500’s times were tuff the great depression was striking hard and caused many people to go to the brink of failure. During the depression many people were out of jobs and money so many went to go work at factories. Factories were low paying sweat shops; there was no windows, no breaks, low pay however hundreds of thousands still worked there. Among this crowd I large varieties of them were children. Parents weren’t really concerned that their children worked long painful hours although they should they didn’t. Parents were more concerned about how they would make it through and how they would make enough money so they sent their children to work denying them of education what’s so ever. Death tolls in factories rose slowly as weary workers died out. Hands and clothing were caught in machines and flung violent waves of pain. - Alfredo
