Industrial Revolution

A series of events occurred years that brought over huge changes in the way people lived. From works being done using only human hands, machines took the majority of workers’ jobs by being able to get more done and at a faster pace. Big huge brick factories was built during this time period while hard workers went from easy paying jobs to easily pay to try and feed their family. When the machines came along they began to take over many of the worker's’ job. Production of manufactured goods increased dramatically. The lives of humans were just starting to be regulated by clocks and bells it also is where a world population declined and people surrounded workshops and factories for a job. These events started the world's

Factories are places where workers inside operate complicated machinery that produce manufactured goods. The creation of factories were a turning point in everyday society because people had to leave home every morning to go to work. This quickly changed family life and the way children were being raised. New housing for workers had to be built near the factories and as this happened, cities rapidly grew in size as world population decreased.

Although they were not used to it, they had to show up to factories at specific times in order to meet production deadlines.

Though the demand for cotton was tremendous, before the use of the cotton gin it was not widely used in textile. The cotton fibers were placed in the plant seed pods and before the fiber can be spun into thread the seed must be removed. This process is so difficult and tremendously long , cleaning cotton by hand was a very fatigued process. After 1793, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin by just turning a crank in a machine he found it possible to remove as many seeds in raw cotton. “By the mid-19th century, cotton had become America’s leading export”(History 1).Now that he found a way to remove how ever amount of seeds from raw cotton, it was discovered it took the place of cotton hand workers rapidly.

After the invention of the cotton gin the raise of cotton became the most important product in the southern united
