Document 1 An Industrial Revolution The word “revolution” means a sudden, great change. What happened in the mid-1800s was nothing short of an industrial revolution. Before the industrial revolution, products—from clothes to silverware to weapons—were made by hand. Individual “spinners” spun wool into cloth in their own home. Blacksmiths crafted metal objects by hand. In the mid-1800s, though, machines were invented that could do this work in a fraction of the time. These machines often worked automatically, requiring no human beings to stand over them. Instead of being powered by humans, the machines used burned coal and other fuels. Suddenly, more products could be made in less time. Fewer human beings were needed to run the machines. Before, nearly everything had been made in small shops across the country. Now, dusty factories began to sprout all over America. Cities changed. Jobs changed. Things became cheaper. It was a true industrial revolution.
