8.12C explain reasons for increase of factories & urbanization

Show the relationship between the terms & phrases below by creating a graphic organizer or
writing an explanation: immigration, agricultural revolution, inventions improved farming,
population, urban centers, factories, industrial revolution, raw resources, manufactured goods,
Warm-Up: While the cotton gin reduced the labor of removing seeds from cotton plants, it
did not reduce the need for slaves. In fact, the opposite occurred and slavery expanded.
Demand in both the North and South increased for ready-made clothing as the population
grew.
The rise of "KING COTTON" as the defining feature of southern life revitalized slavery. The
promise of cotton profits encouraged a spectacular rise in the direct importation of African
slaves in the years before the TRANS-ATLANTIC TRADE was made illegal in 1808. Even
though international purchase of slaves was illegal, after the invention of the cotton gin,
the plantation system spread throughout the South like never before. From 16071787,
250,000 slaves were brought to the colonies. From 17871808, 250,000 slaves were
brought to the USA.
The low cost of slaves and high price of land prevented the growth of businesses in the
South. The invention of the steamboat, cotton gin, and interchangeable parts brought down
the price of most goods. Things were cheaper and could be made quicker in factories.
1. What was the unintended result of the invention of the cotton gin?

2. Compare the number of slaves in the colonies to the number of slaves during the
Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

Warm-Up: In 1803, Ohio became a state! They demanded a road connecting them to the
Eastern markets. Congress voted to build the road and in 1811, construction began. Work on
the road paused during the war. The first half of the road opened in 1818 and connected
Maryland to West Virginia.
Traveling by wagon and horse on roads was rough and bumpy. In the summers, there
were clouds of dust and in the fall the roads were often impossible to travel in due to mud.
They definitely could not carry large wagon loads of goods.
Traveling on the rivers was quicker, more comfortable, and cheaper. It cost less to move
goods and people along rivers. It was also easier to carry large loads on boats and barges
than in wagons. But most rivers flowed from north to south, so it was very slow to travel
upstream against the current. Many people wanted to move west, which wasnt possible with
river transportation. Cities developed along major rivers though, thanks to Robert Fultons
steamboat.
1. What are 2 reasons the people in the West wanted to improve transportation?
2. What do you think will develop in the early 1800s in response to the need for travel
from east to west and vice versa?
3. Compare travel by land and travel by river.

Effects of Geo features

Building factories & workshops instead of
farming. Government placed protective
tariffs on imported goods to help develop
economy & increase $ for our business
owners.
Agriculture based economy with unpaid
slave labor. They traded more with
England due to MERCANTILISM & paid
more in protective tariffs imposed by the
government.
Agriculture based economy with
immigrants moving west for more
economic opportunities. They supported
the protective tariffs imposed on
imported goods because those taxes
paid for building new transportations.
