Agricultural Revolution
This was the start of the Industrial Revolution. Advancements were made for farming to make it easier and more efficient. -
The Power of Steam Engines
The Steam Engine was developed in 1712 by Thomas Newcomen, and then James Watt redesigned it in 1760. It was designed to pump water out of coal mines, but it became more effective over its redesigns. -
Period: to
Textile Industry
This was another important aspect of the Industrial Revolution, which involved cotton, linen, and wool. Multiple automatic inventions were created at the time to help speed up the process and increase the production rate. These machines include the Flying Shuttle (1733), the Spinning Jenny (1764), and the Power Loom (1769). -

Stages of The Industrial Revolution
Many objects played a part in the different areas of the revolution. In England, textiles, railroads, iron, and coal had a major effect on their technological advancements. In the USA and in Western Europe, steel, chemicals, electricity, and oil helped start off revolutionizing new inventions to help the community. -
Gentlemen Farmers
These were the people who were part of new and more productive farm machines, like the seed drill and the cultivator. They owned large plantations and often bought out family farms. -
Evolution of the Cotton Gin
The Cotton Gin was developed by Eli Whitney 1793. This helped increase the supply rate of cotton, which led to being key to the textile industry. It assisted in the USA becoming a major producing center. -

Factory Act
The Factory Act was put in place in 1833. The point of it was part of the labor reform laws that limited the length of the working day. Adult hours were shortened and children could only work a maximum of 8 hours a day. -
New Farming Inventions
During the period of time, new machinery like the iron plow, mechanical reaper, speed drill, and cultivator. Machines liked these helped modernize farmer and helped make production easier. -
Mines Act
The Mines Act was out in place to help get people out of dangerous work. It barred women from working in mines in 1842. It also helped people come to the realization that children can't work in the mines until a certain age. This rule became you need to be a minimum of age 13 to work in the mines. -
Origin of Species
Charles Darwin studied plants and animals over time as they evolved from their simpler life forms. This is how he came up with the theory of evolution in 1859. During periods of evolution, Darwin realized natural selection plays a part. It shows that some organisms are more adaptable then others. -
Below Darwin
Darwin's assistant Herbert Spencer, applied Darwin's theory to human social interaction. This is how he came up with the theory "survival of the fittest". This means over time, due to surroundings, living things adapt to survive longer in their environment. -
Sanitation in The City
Louis Pasteur discovered bacteria caused by infectious diseases. This was made easy to find, due to the sanitation level in both the city and farming areas. A method he used to discover the bacteria was through pasteurization. That is a process where you sterilize liquids by heating rabies vaccinations. -
Ten Hours Act

The Start of Auto
In 1885, the first internal combustion automobile was created to help with transportation. When technology allowed us to design larger autos, then it was switched over to a diesel engine. Just a year after this, the first commercial auto was invented. -
Period: to
Transportation Revolution
This was a time period where many inventors started to and completed different types of transportation devices. This helped begin to revolutionize the way people got around. -
The Interpretation of Dreams
Psych professor Sigmund Freud believed that he could interpret dreams. He thought that dreams were a way of showing something completely different, like a riddle. Freud took dreams and studied the unconscious student behavior, determined our human acts when awake. -
Life at the Factory
At the moment, there are new methods of production that started coming out. The factory system involved new divisions of labor to separate the manufacturing process into a series of stages. These factory jobs involve mass production, which is manufacturing large numbers of the same items. A way to do this, is through an assembly line created by Henry Ford in 1908. -
The Effect of Urbanization
During the Industrial Revolution, many people moved into the cities around 1921 for factory work. This resulted in major city growth, but there were many issues with living in the city. Problems including poverty, hunger, disease, and living in the Slums.
