Industrial Revolution

What connection did Capitalists have with the national bank?

Capitalists received loans from banks to pay for their investments in manufacturing. Remember that capitalists are a new productive resource added during the Industrial Revolution.

What did capitalists bring to the productive resource process?

Capitalists brought money to invest in large scale manufacturing and factory work.

Explain two ways the factory system affected workers or how they worked

(A) The factory system affected workers by creating a less skilled labor force. B) It changed the way in which workers were paid (wages). C) It changed the location to where they were doing work (in cities/factories rather than farms). D) It changed who worked in factories because there was a shift from men to the use of women and children in a lot of cases.

Provide me with three (3) MAJOR changes brought to the means of production during the Industrial Revolution. Include HOW EACH were a change to the means of production.

-Hand made to machine made goods -Brought about the rise of unskilled laborers -Power sources changed from animal/human to water power -Rise of the management as a new way to oversee workers

The northern textile industries required large amounts of this particular raw material. Name this raw material.

COTTON

Southern cotton production caused a vast movement North for more arable (suitable for growing crops) land.

no Correction needs to be made to say "west".

Identify ONE form of communication innovation during this time. Describe the connection communication had to industry in the northeast.

I Communication such as the telegraph linked northeastern cities to Midwestern (western) farms. D(Telegraphs linked these two regions so that they could meet supply and demand requests of one another. Cities needed to know where to send their goods to maximize profit. Farms needed to know WHAT to grow and where to send their crops to be sold in the "East".)

During the Industrial Revolution there was an increased need for agricultural goods in the west (places like OHIO). Innovations in transportation and communication resulted from this need. Identify ONE form of transportation innovation during this time. Describe the connection transportation had to industry in the northeast.

I Possible answers include: roads, canals, steamships OR railroads D innovations in transportation all shared the same connection it had to industry. Manufactured goods needed to be distributed TO other areas (like the west) quickly to be sold to an ever-growing market. Goods that were being grown (food) needed to be shipped to the Northeast quickly to be sold in markets (cities) to feed the growing population in the cities.

The Industrial Revolution brought about a shift in the means of production. Which of the following statements reflect this shift?

Man-made products to machine-made products

Capitalists were individuals who managed factories to ensure workers effectively did their job.

NO- Capitalists were individuals who brought large amounts of money to invest in businesses (factories) with the hope of making profits.

What was one reason for the cause of cotton production during the early to mid-1800's?

The cause for the increase in cotton production is the increased demand from northern textile industries.

How did the factory system bring about change in how goods were made or manufactured?

The factory system brought innovations such as the use of interchangeable parts. This sped up production, made repairs easier to machines and brought uniformity to goods. It also allowed for greater efficiency in the factory and distribution to consumers in different parts of the world. New power sources and innovations in the technology allowed for expanded markets.

Define the factory system.

The factory system brought workers and machines under one roof to produce goods.

Would you say that the impact cotton production had on the land was

The impact on the land was of great significance because The impact on the land was significant because it depleted the soil of nutrients resulting in a decline in the amount of arable land AND/OR greater movement westward which spread slavery.

Urbanization occurred in the Northeast due to the Industrial Revolution.

Yes- Urbanization occurred in the Northeast as a result of the growth of industry.

How would you best define the industrial revoultion

a change in the way in which work was done a change in where work was done a change in our nation's focus on our economy shifted from agrarian to industry These are all good definitions

______The Industrial Revolution was centered in the Northeast for all of the following reasons EXCEPT

that they were close to cotton used in production.

Mass movement westward, specialization in cotton, and the removal of American Indians from their land was a DIRECT

the Cotton Boom.

As southern cotton production increased the population of slavery increased as well.

yes
