While the industrial revolution was characterized by increased the following:

• Use of steam power

• The innovations

One of the major events that happened during this era is the imposition of British taxes and the subsequent withdrawal of the same between the period of 1764 and 1766 (Lancaster, 2001).As a rebel, I will represent the interests of the rebellious colonialists.

In the present times, the transportation network is more advanced and faster compared to the period of the early industrial revolution that was characterized by inland transport only including rivers and roads. Various photographic evidence that would be collected includes the use of canals to transport bulk materials over long distances. Moreover, other transportation technology includes the construction of the road network and the rail network that linked the textile industries across the United
