Impact on Society (Factory, Agriculture)

• Samuel Slater- “Father of Factory System”• First successful water-powered roller

spinning textile mill, Slater Mill (1793)• Rhode Island, Massachusetts,

Connecticut, and New Hampshire• 1815 Providence, 140 cotton

manufacturers• Eli Whitney

• Cotton Gin (1794)• 50x more effective than separating

by hand• Flourished in South

• Machine-made inter-changeable parts, muskets (1850)• Flourished in north

CONTINUED..

• Elias Howe (1846) and Issac Singer (1850s)• Inventers of sewing machine• Foundation of clothing industry

• Made in factories, than homes• Cyrus McCormick

• First mechanical mower-reaper to harvest grain• quicker and cheaper harvesting of

grain• John Deere (1837)
