This week we got into groups and each had different ingredients that were a big part of the industrialization. In this blog post I am going to explain two of the ingredients in more depth.
One of the ingredients in the industrial revolution are the people. One of the things that the people did of this era was improve farming. Roy Townsend urged farmers to grow turnips which restored exhausted soil. Jethro Tull also helped with improving farming, he invented a new material device, the seed drill to be able to help the farmers plant seeds more quickly. The agriculture revolution decrease the risk of famines, because they were well fed women were healthier and that led to healthier and stronger babies which also decreased death rates. Rich landowners pushed ahead with enclosure, which is the process of taking over and fencing of land formerly shared by peasant farmers. The landowners pushed the peasants out which forced them to work in factories.

Another ingredient that was important in the industrial revolution are the resources. Iron as made better by Abraham Darby who was the founding father of iron, he found impurities in the iron from coal, so he found a way to take the impurities out. This was a big part in leading to the railroad industry. Coal was an important source of fuel for the production of iron, it was used to make the steam engine. Cotton was another very important because people can now make better clothing with the mills and the steam engine, this also includes the shuttle which made the making of clothes much faster. People made large business investments off of the industrial revolution.
