🗑
Agricultural Revolution   *caused industrial revo to start in GB *machines used to advance crop production  
🗑
Advances in Agriculture   *crop rotation- putting nutrients back into the soil by rotating crops every year or two so the field is useful each year *extra crops=food production *sell crops/buy animals and feed them the extra crops *that provided meat to eat or more things to sell  
🗑
New Farm Machines   *J. Tull- seed drill; set seeds in organized patterns *Iron plows- easier and faster to plow, more durable *1800's *mechanical reapers, threshers=easier harvesting  
🗑
Impact of New Machines   *harvest more, plant more, less people to pay for labor *middle class benefits the most because they own the most land  
🗑
Enclosure Movement   *wealthy landowners start claiming land that use to be public land *made land private property *ag. more efficient *led to more experiments \*forced small farmers off land= tenant farmers to emigrate into town

John Kay   Invented the flying shuttle for weaving  
🗑
James Aergreaves   made a faster way to spin thread by attaching several spindles to one spinning wheel  
🗑
Factory system   *running water=power source *replaced domestic system *workers/machines brought to one place  
🗑
Development of the Iron and Coal Industries   *charcoal used to heat ore *henry cort-puddling process made iron stronger and less likely to crack -producing sheets of iron *bessemer process-cold air blown through heated iron got rid of impurities  
🗑
Advances in transportation and communication   *canal building *road building *railroad industry *the rocket, first steam powered locomotive *steam powered boats *postal system *morse developed telegraph
