The Industrial Revolution in 1765
The start of industrialization in the United States is considered as the opening of the textile industry in Rhode Island and Pawtucket in 1793. There were textile mills which were opened by an inventor of the water flame Richard Arkwright despite the laws which were made to prohibit the emigration of the textile workers. However, Arkwright introduced Arkwright’s designs to Atlantic and later built some other cotton mills in New England which made him became the father of the American Industrial Revolution. During that time, the United States following its path to industrialization invented a cotton gin and revolutionized the nation’s cotton industry. Initially, these innovations were borrowed from Britain and the event was led by Eli Whitney in that year. The industrialization strengthened the hold of slavery over the cotton-producing. During the end of the 19th century, there was a second Industrial Revolution whereby the United States transformed from a largely agrarian society to an increasingly urbanized one and solved all the problems and became the world’s leading industrial nation. Historians usually argue on the aspects of industrialization and its exact timeline why Britain is opposed to other parts of the world whereby it was a revolution and not a revolution. However, there are positives and negatives of the Industrial Revolution which are so complex. There are many unsafe working conditions and also pollution by coal and gas which people have to struggle with up to date.
The reason why this event is so important is that the movement to the cities and also the inventions for clothing communication and also transportation became more affordable and more accessible, similarly, the masses changed the world industry. Industrial Revolution also transformed the economy, social and cultural impact and again laid the foundation for today’s society despite the questions about it. Another importance of the event is that cash crops like sugar cane, tobacco as well as cotton made America’s southern states to become the world most economic engine for the burgeoning nation. Notably, the slave economy was good to the American prosperity were the southern part of it produced 75% of the world cotton and created millionaires out of it. Importantly, slaves represented Southern farmers became the most important investments and the planters had bulk wealth. To build a commercial enterprise from wilderness needed a lot of labour, similarly, in the 1600s the American colonies were agricultural economies and so they indentured servitude, therefore, most workers who were poor and unemployed from Europe travelled to North America to start a new life there. The poor and helpless people worked there in exchange for food and shelter and education also, British economy improved by the year 1680 and many jobs were created in Britain. There were around 700,000 slaves who lived in the United States who were worth at least $ 200 million according to the current dollars. There were machines which were invented by Eli Whitney to comb the cotton. The cotton gin could process 100 pounds more than the labourers.
The machines increased the processing capacity acceleration demand whereby more cotton was processed and also more was exported to Great Britain and England mills. The invention of the cotton gin was a development which created a global trade (Pruitt, 2018). The cargo ships which were built were better and easy to navigate whereby very powerful navies offered protection piracy which also increased the production of cotton clothes. The benefit of slaves who produced cotton developed its roots to industries from South to North and also to Great Britain whereby in New Yolk and London Banks provided to the plantations to buy lands and slaves.
The East India Company Became the World’s Most Powerful Business
In 1600 to 1874, the East Indian Company was a mighty profit maker enterprise which ruled almost all over the Indian subcontinent. In that time the company was the most powerful in the world known for its powerful army and its territory. Coming to the end of the 17th century, the company was known as East Indies and also it was known as the home of luxury goods, fabrics as well as spices. Nevertheless, British paved its way with the intentions to defeat Spanish Armada and also for the monarchy to become the naval power. Similarly, a group of English businessmen approached Queen Elizabeth in the royal charter for them to be allowed to voyage themselves to the East Indies in the exchange of monopoly on trade whereby they invested around 70,000 pounds to proceed in the East India Company and this is when the East Indies Company was created. Funder mentally the connection was relying on a factory system which left the representatives behind and set up trading posts, therefore, leaving them in the side of negotiating for goods. The corporation was so important that the first factory in Surat was established which is today in Western India. The corporation also made the company to expand and started producing pepper, calico as well as silk fabric and later tea. Eventually, they extended their root to China and also to Asia (Blakenmore, 2019). The East Company’s royal charter provided an opportunity for wage war where it used the military to protect itself by fighting the rivals The Company also provided job opportunity for many men and women and exported goods to England then built a victory by driving French and Dutch out from Indian Subcontinent.
The Reformation and Wars of Religion
At the start of 1520, the international relationship between the coming European countries was faced by disputes whereby there were wars between Muslims and Christians. Primarily, the religions from Northwestern raised the wars which brought about the reformation. Significantly, there was also a division of the Catholic and the Protestants which was brought by a conflict between them which created the most bitter and long-lasting war up to date. Basically in Switzerland, the reformation in the protestant cantons was brought by armies who were so strong and the military power was used to strengthen the Protestantism. The Protestantism, however, sliced the Swiss confederation where during 1529 the Zwinglian and the Catholic fought a serious war to an extent that the leader of the reformation aspect was killed. In Germany Martin Luther princes created a defence force which was made to spread Lutheranism by use of force in the north of Germany. In 1546, there was also a war of the emperor and the league where the emperor won the battle with hope of ending the religious difference in the empire. Hostility continued in Germany until 1552 because Lutheranism was so strong and entranced victory and created a decisive difference. Initially, the key reason for the reformation was calling for purification of the church together with a belief that the Bible should be the only one the source of spiritual authority and not a novel. (Trim, 2010).The reformation became so important to religion despite the consequences because there were many changes which occurred which are long-lasting. Mainly, new religious and political liberation came whereby their positive outcomes can be seen and culture flourished in all sides. The reformation is also important because there was an increase in missionaries throughout the world and even the renaissance were able to gain their recoveries and beliefs without any fear of being prosecuted. There was also freedom of thoughts.
The American Revolutions.
It was during the 1760s when Benjamin Rush from Philadelphia decided to pay a visit to the parliament. In the 18th century, colonist built important ties between the British monarchy and the British constitution. However, Rush had never been a proud native of British because the British colonist declared their independence and also broke away from the British Empire. Primarily, the British did not make it to define the colonies relationship with the empire because they war at war with Spanish Succession at that century for about seven years and so the war consumed their economy. The war also created division among the officials. There wanted to cut debts and so they raised taxes and cut the expenditure on the colonies. They posed arguments that the colonies should be equal to the native country. Identically they wanted to reform the administration but the coherent reform was prevented by a debate which was between the two sides of administration. Nonetheless, colonies understood how they can fit themselves in the empire and remained to be the British subjects. During that time the colonies again developed their political institutions and created a colonial assembly whereby the assemblies reformed many duties to be the same mostly taxing the residence, paying the officials as well as how to manage the revenue. In the 1740s there was a difference between two bodies whereby there was the Enlightenment of the Great Awakening, combining in the colonies to give challenge the authority.
The Revolution importance was that institutions were built and also many ideas and languages immerged which defines the image of America. Moreover, there were revolutionaries which gave grounds for a new nation with completely new plans that would change the history and transformed the world (Sarah, 2009). The Revolution, however, was unpredictable but tied together with the differing colonies under the reign of the new government. The Revolution secured independence from Britain which created a political eager and protect the public together with giving people encouragement to self -interest releasing many forces which gave shape to the Revolution itself.
