NEW YORK STATE STANDARD The American Industrial Revolution 7.6 WESTWARD EXPANSION: Driven by political and economic motives, the United States expanded its physical boundaries to the Pacific Ocean between 1800 and 1860. This settlement displaced Native Americans as the frontier was pushed westward. ( Standards: 1, 3; Themes: ID, MOV, TCC, GEO ) 7.6c Westward expansion provided opportunities for some groups while harming others. ü Students will examine the Erie Canal as a gateway to westward expansion that resulted in economic growth for New York State, economic opportunities for Irish immigrants working on its construction, and its use by religious groups, such as the Mormons, to move westward . 2

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: 1. What changes did the Industrial Revolution bring to the United States? 2. What inventions defined economic growth in the United States during the Industrial Revolution? 3. What effect did did the Industrial Revolution have on child labor and Irish immigrants? 4. How did the Erie Canal spread westward expansion of religious groups, such as the Mormons? ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS : • The economic development during the Industrial Revolution brought changes to the modern United States. • Nationalism in the United States encouraged western expansion and helped define the U.S. role in world affairs. I CAN STATEMENTS: I can explain how the Industrial Revolution defined economic growth in the United States. I can define the important inventions that thrust America into the Industrial Revolution. I can discuss the issues during the Industrial Revolution, such as child labor. I can expound on the importance of the Erie Canal during the Industrial Revolution. LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE: 1.To determine the topic and supporting details from an informational text. 2.To determine the central idea from an informational text 3 3.To make an inference using supporting evidence from a text.

I can explain how the Industrial Revolution defined economic growth in the United States. I can define the important inventions that thrust America into the Industrial Revolution. I can discuss the issues during the Industrial Revolution, such as child labor. I can expound 5 on the importance of the Erie Canal during the Industrial Revolution.

1.The Industrial Revolution At dawn, 11-year-old Lucy Larcom woke to a factory bell she quickly ate breakfast and hurried to her job at a spinning mill. Years later she described her experience: “The buzzing and hissing and whizzing of the pulleys and rollers and spindles and flyers around me often grew tiresome …I could look across the room and see the girls moving backward and forward among the spinning frames, sometimes stooping, sometimes reaching up in their arms, as their work required.” A new type of revolution had begun! This revolution had no battles. It completely changed the world. It was called the Industrial Revolution. I can explain how the Industrial Revolution defined economic growth in the United States . I can define the important 6 inventions that thrust America into the Industrial Revolution. I can discuss the issues during the Industrial Revolution, such as child labor. I can expound on the importance of the Erie Canal during the Industrial Revolution.

New Ways to Produce Goods The revolution in the way goods were produced was known as the Industrial Revolution. Before the Industrial Revolution goods were produced by hand at home or in workshops. As the Industrial Revolution got underway, machines replaced hand tools. At the same time, new sources of power, such as steam and electricity, replaced human and animal power. Original drawings from the Industrial Revolution I can explain how the Industrial Revolution defined economic growth in the United States. I can define the important inventions that thrust America into the Industrial Revolution. I can discuss 7 the issues during the Industrial Revolution, such as child labor.

In 1764, James Hargreaves developed a machine called the spinning jenny. With a spinning jenny a worker could spin several threads at once, not just one thread as on a spinning wheel. James Soon afterwards a machine Hargreaves was invented that could spin 100 spindles of thread at one time! It required spinning jenny waterpower to turn its wheels. This kind of power that used water was called a water frame. I can explain how the Industrial Revolution defined economic growth in the United States. I can define the important inventions that thrust America into the Industrial Revolution. I can 10 discuss the issues during the Industrial Revolution, such as child labor. I can expound on the importance of the Erie Canal during the Industrial Revolution.

New inventions led to an new system of producing goods. To set up and operate a spinning mill required large amounts of capital, or money. Capitalists supplied this money. A capitalist is a person, who invests in a business to make a profit. Capitalists built factories and hired workers to run the machines .
