Industrial Revolution
Agrarian society - everything's based around agriculture
subsistence farming - grow crops and the amount of crops is based on what your family needs that year
people are no longer farming. there are machines to do what it takes 20 people to do.
crop rotation - every year they plant a different crop. giving the ground time to get nutrients back.
started in England because of natural resources. - transport goods (water), coal, iron, cotton, amount of land
people are moving from the country into the cities because there are more jobs.
once the steam engine is evolved, the factories are getting more popular.
factories owners start to find instead of hiring a guy who's spent his whole life on one thing, they can just use a machine.
factory owners want more money
training time has been cut in half. also finding, women and children will work for a lot cheaper than men will.
riots break out. people go on strikes.
unions are fighting for them. laws are being passed about number and duration of breaks. have to be paid minimal wage.
other companies are starting to grow. starting to build more factories. assembly lines are made.
