Rapid population growth in Britain was key to industrial development. More people meant a more mobile labor force, with many young workers in need of employment and ready to go where the jobs were. Sustaining the dramatic increase in population, in turn, was only possible through advances in production in agriculture and industry.

What was the relationship between rapid population growth and industrialization in Britain?

The Combination Acts were British laws that outlawed unions and strikes. Many craftworkers viewed the Combination Acts as capitalist attacks on artisan guilds and work rules, Printers, papermakers, carpenters, tailors, and other craftsmen continued to take collective action. Societies of skilled factory workers also defied the law by organizing unions. Faced with widespread union activity, Parliament repealed the Combination Acts in 1824.

John Wesley

"In the evening I went to a [Christian] society in Aldersgate Street where one was reading Luther's preface to the Epistle to the Romans. About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation; and an assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death."

The concept of "separate spheres" involved a gender-based division of labor with the wife at home as mother and homemaker and the husband as wage earner. Factory discipline conflicted with child care in ways that work on a farm or in the cottage had not. By staying at home, women solved the issue of child care. Another reason for separate spheres was the difficulty of running a household in conditions of urban poverty. Finally, separate spheres increased the segregation of jobs by gender, in part as an attempt to control the sexuality of working-class youths.

The enclosure system would bring benefits to farmers, landowners, artisans, and manufacturers.

The following is an excerpt from Arthur Young's treatise on enclosure (Evaluating Written Evidence): "Thus the land yields a greater neat produce in food for mankind—the landlord doubles his income, which enables him to employ so many more manufacturers and artisans---the farmer increases his income, by means of which he also does the same-the hides and wool are a creation of so much employment for other manufacturers."

In the newly mechanized industries, British goods were being produced very economically, and these goods had come to dominate world markets. In addition, British technology had become so advanced that few engineers or skilled technicians outside England understood it. Moreover, the technology of steam power had grown much more expensive, and continental business people had difficulty amassing the large sums of money the new methods demanded. Finally, continental laborers bitterly resisted the move to working in factories.

What challenges did western European countries face as they attempted to catch up to industrialized Britain?

rly in the nineteenth century, German states had limited markets because each state had tariffs that had to be paid if one wanted to ship goods across a state border. The Zollverein was an organization that had spread to most of the German states by 1834. It allowed goods to move between member states without tariffs, thus creating a large, free market for goods. It also erected a single uniform tariff against other nations.

What was the Zollverein, or customs union, meant to accomplish?

Who invented the spinning jenny?

The cotton-spinning jenny and the water frame permitted textile manufacturers to overcome the constant shortage of thread that inhibited the growth of the textile industry. Because it required waterpower, the water frame further led to the creation of large specialized mills, which formed into factories. Cotton goods became much cheaper, and demand for them increased.

Why did the cotton-spinning jenny and the water frame prove to be crucial breakthroughs for industrialization?

Industrial pioneers came from a variety of backgrounds, for individuals drew on networks of friends and family for financial support. Artisans and skilled workers as well as ethnic and religious groups that had been discriminated against found opportunities to prosper. As the pace and sophistication of industrialization increased, however, it became more difficult for people of modest background to gain fame and fortune. Instead, formal education and training became more important as machines became more complex, and leading industrialists were more likely to have inherited wealth.

How did the background of industrialists change as the Industrial Revolution developed?

Men increasingly moved away from ostentatious fashions and toward plain dark suits, while women acquired larger and more expensive wardrobes.

: Continental countries had strong traditions of trade and urban crafts that enabled them to adapt to new market conditions. Even more to the point, continental economies could borrow technology from Great Britain that the British had taken decades to develop, as well as hire the engineers who built and ran the machinery. Additionally, some continental powers had state governments willing to aid industrial development and fashion industrial policies.
