Steam

the first in the country to start the industrial revolution growth that had spread throughout the rest of the world. With technology, the invention of the steam engine made it possible for factories to be built away from rivers instead of needing to be by rivers because the steam engines were powered by coal. With the invention of the steam engine it changed the ways of production. For example,…

Life in this period has been described as “years of suffering and deprivation, as that “bleak age” in which the “evils of the Industrial Revolution” made themselves manifest”. However, this cold and unjust period gradually came to an end with the intervention of the government and implementation of new legislations that gave workers rights and privileges in their workplaces.

Although before all of these wonderful tools, and methods that we as members of the twenty first century society…

particularly by advances concerning textile, iron, and coal industry. The United states started its industrial revolution by much more different things which concerned transportation, electricity, and efficient production of goods. Inventions such as the steam engine had positive effects on both Britain and the United states, while systems like the free enterprise had negative and positive effects alike. Overall, the industrial revolution in these countries can be related to the agricultural…
