The Industrial Revolution

Introduction

The Industrial Revolution (1820-1870) was of great importance to the economic development of the United States and refers to a change from hand and home production to machine and factory.

The First Industrial Revolution was important for the inventions of spinning and weaving machines operated by water power which was eventually replaced by steam. This helped increase America’s growth.

The Second Industrial Revolution corresponds to the latter half of the 19th Century until the First World War. New innovations in steel production, petroleum and electricity led to the introduction of the light bulb, the telephone, automobiles and ultimately the airplane.
