3 things I learned

• The main reason why children were employed in factories was because of the great demand for cheap labor.
• That some inventions didn't become really successful until another invention modified it, or the invention itself was altered.An example would be the spinning mule, that Sammuel Cromptom invented by combining the features of the spinning jenny and the water frame.
• Railroads spurred industrial growth by giving manufacturers a cheap way to transport materials and finished products.

2 things I found interesting

• The living conditions were disgusting! No sanitary codes! this made me be very thankful for what I have today.
• That the U.S. possessed some of the same resources that allowed Britain to mechanize it's industries and develop large scale factories.

1 question I still have

• Will communism ever die?
