The Industrial Revolution by Cynthia Stokes-Brown (For BHP) Abundant Fossil Fuels Like Coal Led to Innovative Machines, Like Engines The Industrial Revolution By Cynthia Stokes-Brown (for BHP) Abundant fossil fuels like coal led to innovative machines, like engines. These inventions launched an era of accelerated change that continues to transform human society. 920L The Industrial Revolution Cynthia Stokes-Brown (for BHP) The transformation of the world Make a list of the machines around your house, from bicycles to cell phones to microwaves. You might be surprised how many there are. Now imagine young people who grew up before such machines were invented. How did they travel from place to place? How did they communicate? Where did their food come from? At one time, humans relied on physical labor to provide much of the energy needed to feed and house themselves. They burned wood for warmth and cooking, and domestic animals help with chores and transport. Windmills and waterwheels powered simple machines, but their uses were limited. However, the early 1700s saw the early developments of what became the Industrial Revolution. Now, people found an extra source of energy that could work for them. That source was fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas. These fuels had been forming from the remains of plants and animals from much earlier geologic times. When burned, these fuels released much more energy than burning wood. Early steam engines The story of the Industrial Revolution begins in Great Britain and its coalfields and coal mines. By the early eighteenth century, coal was being used more and more to heat homes and fuel workshops. The mines that produced this coal, though, often filled with water, slowing work. In 1712, Englishman Thomas Newcomen created a coal-powered steam engine. It was capable of pumping water from the mines. More than fifty years later Scottish instrument maker James Watt designed a much-improved version. His steam engine was soon adapted for other uses, including milling and weaving. Other inventors and engineers continued to fine-tune Watts’ design, making it more efficient and versatile. Industry soon took advantage of coal-fueled steam engines. Textile mills were among the first to adopt them. Historically, textiles were woven by hand or in workshops powered by river-driven waterwheels. Now steam-powered machines could spin the cotton thread and drive the looms for weaving. Attaching a steam engine to such machines was like trading a bicycle for a jumbo jet. It allowed much more work to be done much faster. These large engines were installed in factories where they could power many machines at once. Industries hired more and more workers to operate them. Early in the Engraving of Boulton and Watt’s steam engine, 1781, from Robert nineteenth century, the British added steam engines Henry Thurston’s A History of the Growth of the Steam Engine. to locomotives and ships. The technology made them New York: D. Appleton, 1878, p. 104.

Its products were on display at the first world’s fair, hosted by Britain in 1851. There, companies demonstrated a growing assortment of equipment, including telegraphs, sewing machines, farm machinery, and steam hammers. Industry was changing society and even the landscape as cities grew and factories changed where and how people worked. Why Britain? Britain wasn’t the only place that had deposits of coal. So why didn’t the Industrial Revolution begin somewhere else, like China, that had similar fuel resources? Did it start in isolation in Britain, or were there global forces at work that shaped it? What influence did geography and cultural institutions have? Historians continue to investigate these questions. Possible reasons industrialization began in Britain include: • An abundance of convenient coal deposits and shortage of wood • A wealthy ruling class interested in economic development • A capitalist economic system, with little government interference • A strong navy to protect commercial shipping • Profits from the transatlantic slave trade that provided Britain with capital to invest in industrialization • Relative safety of Britain as an island nation • British colonies in India, Africa, and the Americas which provided land, natural resources, labor, and markets Possible reasons industrialization did not begin in China include: • Location of China’s coal—the north—while most economic activity was in the south • Coal resources deeper underground, and therefore less accessible than Britain’s • A large, rapidly growing population, making human labor cheap • Cultural ideals that valued stability and discouraged experimentation and change • China’s focus on threats from nomadic tribes in the north and west Global forces influencing the development of industrialization in Britain include: • Britain’s location on the Atlantic Ocean • British colonies in North America, which provided land, labor, and markets • Silver from the Americas, used in trade with China • New thoughts about the economy encouraged an entrepreneurial spirit The spread of the Industrial Revolution Industrial technologies, practices, and ideas soon spread out from Britain. In Europe, countries established their own factories and railroads in the first half of the 1800s. Building a national rail system was an essential part of industrialization, wherever it took hold. Trains could transport raw materials and fuel to factories faster and more cheaply. 3 The Industrial Revolution Cynthia Stokes-Brown (for BHP) Children working in a mill in Macon, Georgia, 1909. By Lewis Hine, public domain. Industrialization took a major step in the United States in 1789. That year Samuel Slater left Britain for Rhode Island, where he set up the first textile factory on U.S. soil. Once factories were built, railroad construction in America boomed from the 1830s to the 1870s. The American Civil War (1861–1865) was the first truly industrial war. Factories mass-produced supplies and weapons for the war effort. The more urbanized and factory-based North used its industrial superiority to defeat the agriculture-based South. After the war, industrialization experienced explosive growth worldwide. Both Russia and Japan shifted from agricultural to industrial economies. By 1900, the United States had overtaken Britain in manufacturing. It produced 24 percent of the world’s output. You’ll read more about industrialization in other parts of the world later in this era and in Era 7. Consequences of the Industrial Revolution As industrialization took off in Europe and the Americas, nations began to use their military to colonize non- industrialized parts of the world. They exploited these colonies for their natural resources and labor, as well as markets for factory-made goods. Industrialization was a driving force in the age of imperialism. These topics will be covered extensively in the remaining lessons of Era 6. Industrialization also had remarkable effects on the global population. In 1700, before fossil fuels were used widely, the world’s population was 670 million. By 2011, it was 6.7 billion, a tenfold increase in only 300 years. Industrial production touched every aspect of society. In the twentieth century alone, the world’s economy grew 4 The Industrial Revolution Cynthia Stokes-Brown (for BHP) fourteen times larger and energy use expanded accordingly. Per capita income quadrupled. In turn, workers in search of jobs migrated in numbers never seen before. Millions of people shifted from rural to urban areas, and even to new countries.

Today, many people around the world enjoy the benefits of industrialization. Much less physical labor is required than in earlier generations. Child mortality rates have decreased and life expectancy has increased as more people are able to feed their children and get medical care. Large numbers of people enjoy levels of wealth, health, and education, unimagined before industrialization. The benefits of industrialization, however, have come at a cost. It has led to social problems as communities have been disrupted by rapid social changes. In addition, the resources that industrialization depends on are being overused and in some cases exhausted. The continued use of fossil fuels has also caused serious environmental impacts. Balancing industrialization’s negative and positive effects is an ongoing challenge. 5 The Industrial Revolution Cynthia Stokes-Brown (for BHP) Cynthia Stokes-Brown Cynthia Stokes-Brown was an American educator-historian. Stokes Brown wrote Big History: From the Big Bang to the Present. Using the term big history, coined by David Christian at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, Stokes Brown told the whole story from the Big Bang to the present in simple, non-academic language to convey our common humanity and our connection to every other part of the natural world Image credits Cover: Industrial Revolution : pollution from copper factories in Cornwall, England.

  • 1 After Slavery & Reconstruction: the Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliogr
    After Slavery & Reconstruction: The Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliography Patrick S. O’Donnell (2020) Jacob Lawrence, Library, 1966 Apologia— Several exceptions notwithstanding (e.g., some titles treating the Reconstruction Era), this bibliography begins, roughly, with the twentieth century. I have not attempted to comprehensively cover works of nonfiction or the arts generally but, once more, I have made— and this time, a fair number of—exceptions by way of providing a taste of the requisite material. So, apart from the constraints of most of my other bibliographies: books, in English, these particular constraints are intended to keep the bibliography to a fairly modest length (around one hundred pages). This compilation is far from exhaustive, although it endeavors to be representative of the available literature, whatever the influence of my idiosyncratic beliefs and 1 preferences. I trust the diligent researcher will find titles on particular topics or subject areas by browsing carefully through the list. I welcome notice of titles by way of remedying any deficiencies. Finally, I have a separate bibliography on slavery, although its scope is well beyond U.S. history. * Or, if you prefer, “self-fulfillment and human flourishing (eudaimonia).” I’m not here interested in the question of philosophical and psychological differences between these concepts (i.e., self- realization and eudaimonia) and the existing and possible conceptions thereof, but more simply and broadly in their indispensable significance in reference to human nature and the pivotal metaphysical and moral purposes they serve in our critical and evaluative exercises (e.g., and after Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, in employing criteria derived from the notion of ‘human capabilities and functionings’) as part of our individual and collective historical quest for “the Good.” However, I might note that all of these concepts assume a capacity for self- determination.

  • More Than Mrs Robinson: Citizenship Schools in Lowcountry South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia, 1957-1970
    More Than Mrs Robinson: Citizenship Schools in Lowcountry South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia, 1957-1970 (A Dissertation submitted in requirement for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy, The University of Nottingham, October 2009) Clare Russell 1 Abstract The first ―citizenship school‖ (a literacy class that taught adults to read and write in order that they could register to vote) was established by Highlander Folk School of Monteagle, Tennessee on Johns Island, South Carolina in 1957. Within three years, the schools were extended across the neighboring Sea Islands, to mainland Charleston and to Savannah, Georgia. In 1961, after Highlander faced legal challenges to its future, it transferred the schools to the fledgling Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), who extended the program across the South. Historians have made far-reaching claims for the successes and benefits of the schools. For example, they claim that they recruited inexperienced but committed people and raised them to the status of community leaders; that they encouraged civic cooperation and political activism and formed the ―foundation on which the civil rights movement‖ was built and they argue that the schools were an unprecedented opportunity for women to develop as activists and as leaders. Yet, they base these claims on certain myths about the schools: that the first teacher Bernice Robinson was an inexperienced and uneducated teacher, that her class was a blueprint for similar ones and that Highlander bequeathed its educational philosophy to the SCLC program. They make claims about female participation without analyzing the gender composition of classes. This dissertation challenges these assumptions by comparing and contrasting programs established in Lowcountry South Carolina and in Savannah.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Books Recommended by Williams Faculty
    Books Students Should Read In the summer of 2009, Williams faculty members were asked to list three books they felt that students should read. This request was deliberately a bit ambiguous. Some interpreted the request as listing "the three best books", some as "books that inspired them when young" and still others as "books recently read that are really good". There is little doubt that many of the following faculty would list different books if asked on a different day. But there is also little doubt that this is a list of a lot of great books for everyone. American Studies Dorothy Wang 1. James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son 2. Giacomo Leopardi, Thoughts 3.

  • Literature and History in the Victorian Novel
    The Plot of Attentional Transformation: Literature and History in the Victorian Novel by Aaron James Donachuk A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Aaron James Donachuk, 2018 The Plot of Attentional Transformation: Literature and History in the Victorian Novel Aaron James Donachuk Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation tracks the history of a formal phenomenon that is prevalent across nineteenth-century British novels, but which has gone largely overlooked by previous scholars. This is what I call the plot of attentional transformation, and it comprises two chief elements: a narrative agon that arises when the protagonist adopts an abject mode of attention such as inattention, distractibility, or absorption; and a denouement that takes place when the protagonist shakes off this abject condition to assume an antithetical, idealized attentional state. I argue that if nineteenth-century novelists as diverse as Walter Scott, W.M. Thackeray, George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, Robert Louis Stevenson, and William Morris all invoked this plot form, it is because it served a valuable organizing and coordinating function. At the same time as the attentional plot allowed these novelists to organize the fates of their differently classed and gendered characters into single teleological history, it also enabled them coordinate their otherwise independent and unrelated narrative interventions into social and literary politics into one coherent historical narrative. In analyzing how concepts of attention structure the Victorian novel, my project contributes to the area of attentional formalism—a body of research that ii studies connections between forms of human attention and the form of Victorian literature.

"To End This Day of Strife": Churchwomen and the Campaign for Integration, 1920-1970 Abstract "'To End This Day of Strife': Churchwomen and the Campaign for Integration, 1920-1970," explores the development and significance of a race relations agenda within a national interdenominational and interracial organization of women, known today as Church Women United (CWU). This project examines the role the organization played in the expansion of a moral language of race that reached across region, race and denomination. The eysk to this expansion were twofold: First, the participation of African American churchwomen in the organization from its beginnings stimulated dialogue and action; and second, the missionary legacy of white churchwomen, which, despite its initial imperialist assumptions, introduced churchwomen to a religious idiom and intellectual experience that embraced cultural diversity.
