As I wake in the morning I glance out the window and see the sun shining towards the factory. I kiss my wife and four kids goodbye as I start my day. Not much to talk about these days, but I hear of lassiez-faire going around the town. Im all for the government giving a little leeway. Its hard now a days working for the nickel and dimes I get, new inventions I hear are on the uprising. Mr. Robert Fulton just put together a contraption that power boats with a steam engine, a steamboat thats what he called it. Its only 1807 and new technologies are on the rise. At the factory they talk of some sort of Revoultion. Now im a old country guy whos only focus is feeding my family. They say were on the uprising of new jobs and more a more urban city. Im all for it, it was hard for me growing up. I was father at a real young age so more opprtunity for me is what I need. Theres alot of chatter going back and fourth on many other inventors with inventions just the other day Mr. Smith who works in the new black smiths factory told me of many great things to come in this Industrial Revolution he says they call it. He also says this been around since the 1750's. Me personally I dont be interested in all that city talk, my only concern was bacon off a pigs behind in the morning and liver from a cow at dinner. I guess since I been clueless for the last 55 years of my life I guess as long as lord gives me breath i can make a better life for my family. Only time will tell
1) Why was the development of railways important to industrialization? It made it easier for transportation through out England. It reached into some of the small countryside villages and it reached into the middle of the greatest cities. It transformed the speed of movement. It was also a more advanced type of technology at that point. It also created more jobs, by having people working on creating it. The growth of the railways increased between 1820 and 1850, bacause of the burst in investment.
2) How did it change people's daily lives? They were able to travel much faster than before. Instead of having to walk miles away to there destination. But most of the passengers on the train were often the more richer people who could afford riding the train. The countryside people still had to walk and the poor did the same thing to. That was in the early times of the creation of the railways. So people were able to travel to more places than they ever did before and a much faster way.
3) What were the economic and social benefits of the railroads? The growth of the economy did increase at the time the railroads were created. It grew because, you had to have a lot of employees working on such long railroads that took a lot of time to finish. So people were getting paid, but not a lot. The social benefits were, that relatives who lived far away from each other could travel faster to see each other. It made people travel a lot looking for new opportunities to succeed and see other places.
1.Cities had cars,and factories.These showed that it had the potential to be a heatly and thriving place to live.railways were another way to be a modern city,and have all the necessary needs.trains were also used to transport good to other places.
2.The devolopment of the passenger carraige was also useful to the I.R.These parts of the train were obviously modeled after stage coaches taken from carts until places appered on trains.they were also used for travel in less time.
3.The benefits were that it was useful to the modernization of places around britain.This was the way britain got ahead of the united states and had the better country.The things you can do with railroads were increased once inventors learned that they were better for bringing goods.
Everyday i open my eyes, i wish i would have never opened them. Everyday is a struggle trying to raise and feed my kids. I hate to see them working on their hands and feet all day without getting paid much.The Industrial Revolution has us moving from city to city so i dont really have a stable job. As a woman, i have to work for my rights. A few other women and I started a campaign to limit the use of alcohol. Most of us women could not vote and were banned from schools, so we werent very educated. Through time i feel that a change can come, us women can overcome all that is standing in our way.
Today i woke up got my kids up and ready for work because im sick from being in this dirty infested house and now all i have is my kids dat can work their isabella and charles they are 9 and 10 years of age and work on in the mine.I went outside for the first time in three months now i seeing that this city is having very less people living here because this apartment of mine is dirty no kind of real home with food, beds or family. when i go outside there is nothing here its railroad tracks and its one way of me getting out of this place. I hope i can take my kids and go away with them. I heard about micheal faraday and how he figured out about electricity can move around in diffrent direction i love science and i hope i can go meet him and perfect his work with my son charles because he is a science wizz and he hopes to invent new technology since right now we are having so much found and being used. I hope my life turns around where my kids can leave from here and discover the next comet or build the next train with a version of their own steam engine.
It's not easy here, at what we call "home." It is so dark in our home when I have to get up in the morning for work, and right when i get home. So, the only times that I AM home, I have to use fire to see where I'am going. I'm constantly hot and sweaty. I always feel so icky; my clothes are always sticking to me. Where I work, I only get paid 10 cents an hour, so I pretty much just make $1.50 a day. That's barely enough for ONE meal. The only good thing in my life right now is the new "railfoad." I can travel a lot faster getting to work and back. I no longer have to walk 3 miles before and after work. This railroad has helped so many people. It's one of the best blessings from God, that I've seen yet.
I was a teen in the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and at sixteen i had to step up and help my brothers support my family when my father was killed in a freak mining accident. From that on i witnessed my family stuggle just to provide for the household and as my brothers married and ran off i was stuck supporting my mother, wife, and kids, But to make it worse i have to watched my young children go off to work in the mines and textile factory just so we can maintain the little of a house we do have. After a few more year past by, I was able to buy a peice of land out in the country, so that my wife can get that garden she always wanted and my kids can just be kids. Eventhough i countinued to work in the factory for many more years I was able to be home everynight thanks to the railroad system and the little money that i made we were able to live a pretty good life.
My name is Duke. I have been around since 1825, when George Stephenson designed the first train on Stockton and Darlington. I was very happy for the invention of the train because our city- folks walked almost five miles to the nearest market. The kids walked several miles to get to school. Now we could travel in bulks and we didn't have to be the richset to travel by train. They had finally found a new way to transport goods from country to country for trade. Then city- folks had one problem with the disturbing screeching of the trains entering or stopping in the neighborhood. I was first shocked when I heard about the death of William Huskusson, a member of parliament, whom died after being struck by a passing train. July 1864 I was terrified when I witnessed the brutal death of Thomas Briggs, a 69 year old clerk. Thomas Briggs shook hands with a man when I saw him earlier. Later that day as I was riding by and Thomas was battered to death and thrown onto the line while going to London on the 21.50 Broad Street to Poplar. He was said to have been missing a gold watch and chain, and gold- rimmed glasses. I thought of it to be a robbery since they were most popular at train stations.
This is my first day working in the factory. I'm working on spinning machine that one person could work on it. But it's hard to use also it's really dangerous. When i was working they had children working with me. But they was getting injured by the machine. I been working for a long time. I just got done working from the factory and i got pay. The Money i got from working i could feed my family with the money. But i have few Hours of sleep until the next day i could work. So i could feed my family with enough food for one day.
When my family heard of the new weaving inventions, we did the smart thing and invested in them. At the same time, I got a job in the textile industry to further support us. I wanted to pursue my education when we’d breached the colonies, but my father would stress that work was more important for a young man’s proper growth. He would always tell me that an education is nothing for us of the lower, working class. We were meant to work, and that an education only prepares a lad to work for a higher-up anyhow, so why should ye waste ye time? I did not comprehend father’s word use, but my confidence in his wisdom had never dimmed nor tarnished.
Father would leave to work on the ditches before my awake. I myself would report to the textile factory after my mother fed me breakfast, which was often bread and milk. Should I tire of the routine taste, I would snatch a couple of plums or apples on the way to work, as mother instructed me should I gain hunger. At work I lost my naive sentiments and any thoughts of slack on the younger workers as myself and got to work. Four hours had now passed and I am relieved that I had eaten before time. My area of work was fascinating_ only if it hadn’t been I operating it. James Hargreave’s Spinning Jenny was a marvel in machinery. It could do it’s job without my assistance, which was the easy part. My department was maintenance, meaning I had to keep the jenny operating properly and to fix it should it malfunction. Before of my shift was over, two of my co-workers had lost crushed their forearms in an attempt to fix their jennies. Thou were released as a result. It was a sad sight indeed.
I began to suspect that my mother fed me that horrid milk to keep my bones strong, For if I had lost my job, father would have to work twice as hard.
Today is my tenth birthday, so mama gave me this book as a gift. She said I can write all my thoughts in it. "Your mind is the most important thing to me", she always says. I have not yet understood why she puts her hard earned money into me and school. She says don't worry about it because her, papa, and my older brothers are taking care of the family. My 3 older brothers are 19, 20, and 22. I never get presents like this because we can't always afford them, but this birthday is different. Since I'm ten, mama can make more money because she doesn’t have to walk me all those miles to the school house since we can't afford shillings for the train. I'm a little taller and a little stronger so I can handle myself against the older kids now mama says.
I wish we could move away. Away from this murky grey fog cloud that covers Liverpool, London. With factories on my left and railroads winding on my right, I feel like my breathing gets worse with everyday that passes. Papa always apologizes because 30 years ago in 1860, he said it was the best he could do for 16 shillings a week. Now he’s getting older but his body is used to the pollution. Back then, he said all they could afford was “rush-lights”- which is home made lights because families couldn’t afford the lamp with oil.
Now that I walk to school alone; the streets seem dirtier, the sky seems darker, and the smell of filth and waste seem enhanced. Is there such a thing as peace, quiet, and cleanliness? The passengers on the railroad know that feeling, the owners of the factories know that feeling, and the children at my school that are praised by the teachers know that feeling. One day I’ll know what it means. My brothers didn’t have the option of going to school. I’m the first person in my family that read and writes. So I’m going to pick a trade and grow in it so that I too, can become of the upper class (bringing my family with me).
My name is Jermaine Franklin and I live in Lynchburg,Virginia.I am 18 years old and I work at a cotton making factory.The Industrial Revolution is having a very big impact on my everyday life.Railways make it alot easier to visit my mother in Massachusettes.I live with my two brothers. Today is September 30,1850 and Fall just began.Luckily I work at the cotton factory because I make 17 shillings a week,which isn't much but I have enough to keep myself warm at night.Being a employee at the factory has it pros but the cons outweigh the good.The Mule Spinner invention revolutionized the entire nation.It replaced the work of one hundred hand workers. The tragic side of the factory is that the spinner opened and closed and we had to make sure none of threads became tangled or broken.The factory owner,also called operative ,made the children moderate the threads.I knew that was going to be a bad idea.Men and children had to endure the long hours and poor lighting conditions.Although these cautions were unfair the most cruel endangerment were the cotton fluffs which floated in the air ,causing white lung disease among workers. Railroads were important because goods and people were able to travel across the country at an increasing rate.Economic benefits of railroads were that the government were making more capital to make improvements to our wonderful country.Social affects included the difference between first class,second class,and third class riders.The first class passengers thought as if they were more dominate than those of third class which created many fueds between occupents.
1.the developement of railways was important to industrilization because modern civilization and technological developed. economic development including the exploitation of various resources, the growth of agriculture and industry and regional developement.
2.the developement of the railways changed peoples lives in many ways. it closed the gap betweenindustrialized and non-industrialized nations. it gave colonized and imperialism a more powerful country. also the life expectancy increased, prices of goods declined, and education and participation in government was available to more people
3.the economics and social enefits that the Industrialization had was that, in the importance of industry to the economy conditions marked by an increase in the. The process of industrialization describes the formation from a society to based on theindustry. During the process of industrialization, per capita income (level of income per person) rises and productivity levels increase.
1)Why was the development of railways important to industrialization? it was important because it got them where they needed to go. they were faster and more supported. more railroad stations caused for more people to ride them caused for more money in the inventors pecket.
2)How did it change people's daily lives? it changed peole lives by putting less work on them. if they had a job 5 miles away, they didn't have to work anymore. they could catch the train and they will actually be on time to work. they won't be tired as soon as they got to work and they had more enengy. they felt more satisfied.
3)What were the economic and social benefits of the railroads? the economic part incresed because it caused for more jobs. they needed more people to work the trains, take care of them, manage them, etc. Britian became more popular because thats where it started. the social benefits was more people had opportunities and more money rolled in and it all went in a circle.
The Nippers on the Great Central Railway,got started in the 1890's. It was a very well organized transpotation route. Only men were working on the Nipper Railway. I also read about country poor people lighting up their house. They couldn't afford light's so they had to use candle light. So the poor country people used something they invented called rush-lights. Engineering in 1850 was skilled by alot of people.
Today was my first day working in a factory. My father just recently became ill and died, so my brothers and I had to start working in the factories. My father never wanted us to work. He always said the factory was no place for a child,but now that he's gone we had to start working. When I walked in I was horrified with the loud noise, cotton fluffs,and smoke. My family and friends always told me about the harsh conditions ,but when I saw them for myself I was overwhelmed. I wasnt old enough to work on the machine so i helped the textile workers. As I was going to help the workers a boy walked in late he was severly punished by being weighed which was when they put a heavy weight on his back and made him walk around for hours.During our short lunch break I over heard Mr. Morse talking about some kind of new invention he was working on called a telegraph.Mr.Morse said that we would be able to communicate from far distances. I cant wait to tell my brothers in the morning about what I have heard.
My name is Tyriel Nelson, I am 16 years old. I started working because my mother need some help around the house. The Industrial Revolution had us move twice but i think it was for the better. But my mother didn't like getting up in the morning and get her kids(me and my two brothers) up and ready for work. My mother didn't really eat because she had to feed us which I try to work as hard to make more money to get more food for us to eat. We also wasn't very educated. Ryane my mother heard about the laissez-faire and the Bessemer process which help the railroads out doing the Industrial Revolution. Also they had new inventions coming out helping out factors out, still was kind of hard. It's another day and life in the Industrial Revolution.
I struggle everyday in life thinking of my children. I don't have much money and I work very hard. I just wish that my children can get through this with me. I want a better future for my children. My children are also struggling with me. They work everyday like I do I shed tears every now and again because I know they dont get paid much. What I did was got a group of women to go around talking about how alcohol should be prohibited. We called our campaigne Prohibition. This was very extremely successful. This showed me if i believe in something then I can do it.
1. The reason the railroads were important to industrialzation beacause it provided transportation. Some of the railways reached into some of the remotest areas of the countryside and reached into the centers of the greatest cities. The creation of railroaads also helped transporting goods a whole lot easier.
2. It changed people's daily lives by instead of walking it was a hole lot faster to just hop on the train to get where you half to go. It also help create other jobs for the unemployed.Some of the passengers where rich people thatt can afford it.It also helped trasport goods from city to city.
3. It helped by giving people a chance to see outside of their city. It boosted up the economy a whole lot.It made things easier to do such as transporting goods and people traveling. It showed that the economy was steping into a new era.
Dear diary today was normal day. My family and I got up to eat breakfast. After breakfast, off to do my job which is to make clothing. I used all my strength to make my clothing. Until today Mr. James Hargreaves created the spinning jenny. The spinning jenny was used for weaving cloth together. It would be better for us because that way we would be able to make more clothing in one day. The only thing that would change is that I would be working in a factory and not at home. Is that really better? To me it could be better but at the same time maybe not. I mean yes, I would be making more clothing then before and less energy I’m using. But what is the risk ? Besides I never worked in a factory before. They said it would be about 2 weeks before the factory is up and running. I was able to try it before I started working in the factory. I must say it is a good invention. I just don’t think working in a factory is the best idea. I guess, I have to wait until the factories opens to see how it would be.
We can never appreciate what we never experience. That is the problem with this new generation that is arising. My grandchildren belong to this generation. I am a man thats been around for quite some time now and I believe that the upcoming generations are just going to get lazier and lazier. Back in my days when I first started working on the farm with my father, we did everything by hand. There were no factories, no machinary, no easy way out. We put our sweat and tears into everything we did. And what is this nonsense about railroads? Railroads? We didn't have such thing in my day. I tell ya, we walked or we rode our horses to wherever we wanted to go. Now-a-days, these kids got it too easy. Telephones also? I reckon, that won't do no good for these kids. What they need to do is go back to writing letters! Our traditions are dying out with these new inventions and life itself is just changing by the minute. My grandchildren told me they didn't want to live here on this farm anymore. They said they wanted to move into the city where everyone else lives. These kids do not appreciate all the work I put into this place with my bare hands. Although, I must say that the cottin gin has to be one of the better inventions that have been created. It just makes cottin picking so much more efficient. Like I said before, I can't just leave this place for the dirty city out there. I just ain't fit for it.
1)Why was the development of railways important tp industrialization?..Before railways, during The Industrial Revolution there was really no other way to travel and or transport dem selves.Other than horse carriages and their own two feet,(un less people had more than two feet back den!!HAHA)there was none.When they did come about, it made transporting and traveling a whole lot easier for industrialist.Railways played a big part in people being able to have money to travel and expand.
2)How did it change people daily lives?..It changed people daily lives because it grew people buisnesses.Which means more work was available.By more work being available more and more people had jobs and work they can do.And work means money.
3)What were the economic and social benefits of the railroads?..There were many economic and social benefits Railroads had on the Industrial Revolution. Railroads were able to greatly decrease shipping time and increase western production. Factory construction paralleled railway construction, the factories and their increased output needed access to markets which were often times a considerable distance away.Anthracite coal was in high demand as well, for use in the production of iron rails and farm implements, which the trains then hauled west. The transcontinental railroad, completed in May 10, 1869, brought forth the ultimate bond between the east coast and the west coast, and among other benefits, allowed major expansion in the western cattle industry with the introduction of the refrigeration car. Products could move faster, and distant markets opened up, allowing for more specialized products to be produced.
Lifes Tough waking up every morning to another old day. Nothings New Around Here except the Grass getting taller and new inventions. I Work in Abbeydale industrial hamlet. Its 1862 and yet another invention has come to light. The Water-power Drop Forge, Which Duty is To Produce Scyth blades.. My job as a shaft, was to turn the hammers which repeatedly strike the heated metal. My factory is known as the first site in the UK to involve the processes needed to make edge tools. I Stand near the tilt forge, grinding hull, boring shop, and blacksmith shop.Being A mechanic Consist of transforming, pushing, pulling, its really hard on my hands and back.Not to mention the hard labor is also bad on my skin. After a 20 cent a day pay i am left to go to my home where i see my kids meeting me at the door with empty plates in their hands, wanting food. It weakens my heart to tell them i dont have money or food to give them. The sad Part About The Whole thing is, hat Im A Woman.

Before of my shift was over, two of my co-workers had lost crushed their forearms in an attempt to fix their jennies. Thou were released as a result. It was a sad sight indeed.
I began to suspect that my mother fed me that horrid milk to keep my bones strong, For if I had lost my job, father would have to work twice as hard.

ReplyDeleteToday is my tenth birthday, so mama gave me this book as a gift. She said I can write all my thoughts in it. "Your mind is the most important thing to me", she always says. I have not yet understood why she puts her hard earned money into me and school. She says don't worry about it because her, papa, and my older brothers are taking care of the family. My 3 older brothers are 19, 20, and 22. I never get presents like this because we can't always afford them, but this birthday is different. Since I'm ten, mama can make more money because she doesn’t have to walk me all those miles to the school house since we can't afford shillings for the train. I'm a little taller and a little stronger so I can handle myself against the older kids now mama says.
I wish we could move away. Away from this murky grey fog cloud that covers Liverpool, London. With factories on my left and railroads winding on my right, I feel like my breathing gets worse with everyday that passes. Papa always apologizes because 30 years ago in 1860, he said it was the best he could do for 16 shillings a week. Now he’s getting older but his body is used to the pollution. Back then, he said all they could afford was “rush-lights”- which is home made lights because families couldn’t afford the lamp with oil.
Now that I walk to school alone; the streets seem dirtier, the sky seems darker, and the smell of filth and waste seem enhanced. Is there such a thing as peace, quiet, and cleanliness? The passengers on the railroad know that feeling, the owners of the factories know that feeling, and the children at my school that are praised by the teachers know that feeling. One day I’ll know what it means. My brothers didn’t have the option of going to school. I’m the first person in my family that read and writes. So I’m going to pick a trade and grow in it so that I too, can become of the upper class (bringing my family with me).

ReplyDeleteMy name is Jermaine Franklin and I live in Lynchburg,Virginia.I am 18 years old and I work at a cotton making factory.The Industrial Revolution is having a very big impact on my everyday life.Railways make it alot easier to visit my mother in Massachusettes.I live with my two brothers.
ReplyDeleteToday is September 30,1850 and Fall just began.Luckily I work at the cotton factory because I make 17 shillings a week,which isn't much but I have enough to keep myself warm at night.Being a employee at the factory has it pros but the cons outweigh the good.The Mule Spinner invention revolutionized the entire nation.It replaced the work of one hundred hand workers.
The tragic side of the factory is that the spinner opened and closed and we had to make sure none of threads became tangled or broken.The factory owner,also called operative ,made the children moderate the threads.I knew that was going to be a bad idea.Men and children had to endure the long hours and poor lighting conditions.Although these cautions were unfair the most cruel endangerment were the cotton fluffs which floated in the air ,causing white lung disease among workers.
Railroads were important because goods and people were able to travel across the country at an increasing rate.Economic benefits of railroads were that the government were making more capital to make improvements to our wonderful country.Social affects included the difference between first class,second class,and third class riders.The first class passengers thought as if they were more dominate than those of third class which created many fueds between occupents.
1.the developement of railways was important to industrilization because modern civilization and technological developed. economic development including
ReplyDeletethe exploitation of various resources, the growth of agriculture and
industry and regional developement.
2.the developement of the railways changed peoples lives in many ways. it closed the gap betweenindustrialized and non-industrialized nations. it gave colonized and imperialism a more powerful country. also the life expectancy increased, prices of goods declined, and
education and participation in government was available to more people
3.the economics and social enefits that the Industrialization had was that, in the importance of industry to the economy conditions marked by an increase in the. The process of industrialization describes the formation from a society to based on theindustry. During the process of industrialization, per capita income (level of income per person) rises and productivity levels increase.
1)Why was the development of railways important to industrialization?
ReplyDeleteit was important because it got them where they needed to go. they were faster and more supported. more railroad stations caused for more people to ride them caused for more money in the inventors pecket.
2)How did it change people's daily lives?
it changed peole lives by putting less work on them. if they had a job 5 miles away, they didn't have to work anymore. they could catch the train and they will actually be on time to work. they won't be tired as soon as they got to work and they had more enengy. they felt more satisfied.
3)What were the economic and social benefits of the railroads?
the economic part incresed because it caused for more jobs. they needed more people to work the trains, take care of them, manage them, etc. Britian became more popular because thats where it started. the social benefits was more people had opportunities and more money rolled in and it all went in a circle.
The Nippers on the Great Central Railway,got started in the 1890's. It was a very well organized transpotation route. Only men were working on the Nipper Railway. I also read about country poor people lighting up their house. They couldn't afford light's so they had to use candle light. So the poor country people used something they invented called rush-lights. Engineering in 1850 was skilled by alot of people.

ReplyDeleteToday was my first day working in a factory. My father just recently became ill and died, so my brothers and I had to start working in the factories. My father never wanted us to work. He always said the factory was no place for a child,but now that he's gone we had to start working. When I walked in I was horrified with the loud noise, cotton fluffs,and smoke. My family and friends always told me about the harsh conditions ,but when I saw them for myself I was overwhelmed. I wasnt old enough to work on the machine so i helped the textile workers. As I was going to help the workers a boy walked in late he was severly punished by being weighed which was when they put a heavy weight on his back and made him walk around for hours.During our short lunch break I over heard Mr. Morse talking about some kind of new invention he was working on called a telegraph.Mr.Morse said that we would be able to communicate from far distances. I cant wait to tell my brothers in the morning about what I have heard.
My name is Tyriel Nelson, I am 16 years old. I started working because my mother need some help around the house. The Industrial Revolution had us move twice but i think it was for the better. But my mother didn't like getting up in the morning and get her kids(me and my two brothers) up and ready for work. My mother didn't really eat because she had to feed us which I try to work as hard to make more money to get more food for us to eat. We also wasn't very educated. Ryane my mother heard about the laissez-faire and the Bessemer process which help the railroads out doing the Industrial Revolution. Also they had new inventions coming out helping out factors out, still was kind of hard. It's another day and life in the Industrial Revolution.

I struggle everyday in life thinking of my children. I don't have much money and I work very hard. I just wish that my children can get through this with me. I want a better future for my children. My children are also struggling with me. They work everyday like I do I shed tears every now and again because I know they dont get paid much. What I did was got a group of women to go around talking about how alcohol should be prohibited. We called our campaigne Prohibition. This was very extremely successful. This showed me if i believe in something then I can do it.
ReplyDelete1. The reason the railroads were important to industrialzation beacause it provided transportation. Some of the railways reached into some of the remotest areas of the countryside and reached into the centers of the greatest cities. The creation of railroaads also helped transporting goods a whole lot easier.
ReplyDelete2. It changed people's daily lives by instead of walking it was a hole lot faster to just hop on the train to get where you half to go. It also help create other jobs for the unemployed.Some of the passengers where rich people thatt can afford it.It also helped trasport goods from city to city.
3. It helped by giving people a chance to see outside of their city. It boosted up the economy a whole lot.It made things easier to do such as transporting goods and people traveling. It showed that the economy was steping into a new era.
Dear diary today was normal day. My family and I got up to eat breakfast. After breakfast, off to do my job which is to make clothing. I used all my strength to make my clothing. Until today Mr. James Hargreaves created the spinning jenny. The spinning jenny was used for weaving cloth together. It would be better for us because that way we would be able to make more clothing in one day. The only thing that would change is that I would be working in a factory and not at home. Is that really better? To me it could be better but at the same time maybe not. I mean yes, I would be making more clothing then before and less energy I’m using. But what is the risk ? Besides I never worked in a factory before. They said it would be about 2 weeks before the factory is up and running. I was able to try it before I started working in the factory. I must say it is a good invention. I just don’t think working in a factory is the best idea. I guess, I have to wait until the factories opens to see how it would be.
ReplyDeleteWe can never appreciate what we never experience. That is the problem with this new generation that is arising. My grandchildren belong to this generation. I am a man thats been around for quite some time now and I believe that the upcoming generations are just going to get lazier and lazier. Back in my days when I first started working on the farm with my father, we did everything by hand. There were no factories, no machinary, no easy way out. We put our sweat and tears into everything we did. And what is this nonsense about railroads? Railroads? We didn't have such thing in my day. I tell ya, we walked or we rode our horses to wherever we wanted to go. Now-a-days, these kids got it too easy. Telephones also? I reckon, that won't do no good for these kids. What they need to do is go back to writing letters! Our traditions are dying out with these new inventions and life itself is just changing by the minute. My grandchildren told me they didn't want to live here on this farm anymore. They said they wanted to move into the city where everyone else lives. These kids do not appreciate all the work I put into this place with my bare hands. Although, I must say that the cottin gin has to be one of the better inventions that have been created. It just makes cottin picking so much more efficient. Like I said before, I can't just leave this place for the dirty city out there. I just ain't fit for it.
ReplyDelete1)Why was the development of railways important tp industrialization?..Before railways, during The Industrial Revolution there was really no other way to travel and or transport dem selves.Other than horse carriages and their own two feet,(un less people had more than two feet back den!!HAHA)there was none.When they did come about, it made transporting and traveling a whole lot easier for industrialist.Railways played a big part in people being able to have money to travel and expand.
ReplyDelete2)How did it change people daily lives?..It changed people daily lives because it grew people buisnesses.Which means more work was available.By more work being available more and more people had jobs and work they can do.And work means money.
3)What were the economic and social benefits of the railroads?..There were many economic and social benefits Railroads had on the Industrial Revolution. Railroads were able to greatly decrease shipping time and increase western production. Factory construction paralleled railway construction, the factories and their increased output needed access to markets which were often times a considerable distance away.Anthracite coal was in high demand as well, for use in the production of iron rails and farm implements, which the trains then hauled west. The transcontinental railroad, completed in May 10, 1869, brought forth the ultimate bond between the east coast and the west coast, and among other benefits, allowed major expansion in the western cattle industry with the introduction of the refrigeration car. Products could move faster, and distant markets opened up, allowing for more specialized products to be produced.
Lifes Tough waking up every morning to another old day. Nothings New Around Here except the Grass getting taller and new inventions. I Work in Abbeydale industrial hamlet. Its 1862 and yet another invention has come to light. The Water-power Drop Forge, Which Duty is To Produce Scyth blades.. My job as a shaft, was to turn the hammers which repeatedly strike the heated metal.
ReplyDeleteMy factory is known as the first site in the UK to involve the processes needed to make edge tools. I Stand near the tilt forge, grinding hull, boring shop, and blacksmith shop.Being A mechanic Consist of transforming, pushing, pulling, its really hard on my hands and back.Not to mention the hard labor is also bad on my skin. After a 20 cent a day pay i am left to go to my home where i see my kids meeting me at the door with empty plates in their hands, wanting food. It weakens my heart to tell them i dont have money or food to give them. The sad Part About The Whole thing is, hat Im A Woman.
