THE INDUSTRIAL

REVOLUTION byal es wessl ing The industrial revolution was a period in time that took place from the late 1700?s to early 1800?s. During the Industrial Revolution many new Invention were created such as the telephone, the cotton gin, and the steam engine. The Revolution began in england but quickly spread all throughout the world. The American Industrial Revolution was commonly referred to as the second revolution, as it took place during the 1820's through the 1870?s.

Factory systems during the industrial revolution quickly exploded with new automated machinery making work much easier. And while that was a plus it also meant that many people lost their jobs. Almost 60% of people who worked in factories lost their jobs due to the placement of new machinery. Many people gave up their farms in order to work in factories. So there was a large reduction in agricultural production. As a result of new

factories opening up, more and more people left the current jobs they had to go and work in these factories. Which lead to more people to pay for their work, which then ment people were getting paid less and less as more people can to work in factories. The industrial revolution was a time of many new inventions. The first large one was the cotton gin. The cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney in 1793. The cotton gin enabled farming to

be much easier. It speed up production of cotton and made removal of the seed much easier. Another large scale invention that changed the world was the steam engine. The steam engine was invented by James Watt in 1755. The steam engine enabled locomotives to be produced which lead to fast shipment. Stem engines also powered many of the machinery that factories used. 3

Communism, a political point of view brought from Karl Marx consist of the Idea that all factories, companies, mines, and or farms, are owned by the government and all profits made from those industries were evenly distributed throughout the communities. This way of looking on how things should be was based off of the effect of the idea of Capitalism. Capitalism was the proposal in which companies

were privately owned and money was distributed based on how the owners seemed fit. Many people have different views on how to run our government, or how to distribute money. People, such as the main activist for communism, Karl Marx, believed that communism was the simple answer for a very complex question, ?The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all

private property.? Karl Marx simply states. But there are others such as many high paid, wealthy company owners, who believed communism would be the end of our government all together. All in all communist, believed by most, would fail tremendously leaving our country poor and on the verge of defeat. Karl Marx Did not live in luxury and wealth, in fact he was known to be an

alcoholic with poor diet and unfortunate living circumstances with his wife and four kids. This showed many people a short glimpse of what could be if communism was as accepted as wanted. If communism were to be existing wildly today i feel our country would not succeed.
