the way people worked.
From farming to Factories
From hand tools to machine
More goods, more quickly!
10. It began in England.
They didn’t want other countries to know how to

turned cotton fibers into yarn and employed
children between the ages of 7 and 12.

spin yarn and weave it into cloth.
He began to hire young farm girls who lived in
company owned boarding houses.
They became known as the “Lowell Girls”

factory’s
South –Cotton Plantations:

plantation and slave owners
