Industrial Revolution: Textiles

Spinning Jenny and James Hargreaves:

-invented by James Hargreaves

-allowed thread to be made faster

-eight spindles, spun from corresponding set of roving’s,  driven by hand crank, entirely hand operated mechanism

-made making thread 10 times faster than in the past

-thread machine produced was coarse and lacked strength, making suitable for only filling of weft, thread woven across the warp

– sets up small spinning mill in Nottingham

-in 1778, latest version of spinning jenny worked eighty spindles each

-first practical spinning frame with multiple spindles

-simple wooden framed machine, mainly used by home spinners

-worked in similar manner to the spinning wheel, first clamping down on the fibers then drawing them out, followed by twisting

Materials and Trade:

-20th century, all cloth made from plant/animal fibres

-woollen industry established in middle ages, production based on domestic industry

-cotton industry developed in three main districts:  North West England, the Midlands, and the Clyde Valley in Scotland

-by 1802 cotton industry accounted for 4-5 percent of national income of Britain, production had now grown to 8 percent and had overtaken the woollen industry

-Britain’s climate and geography suited sheep, British woollen cloth was in high demand in Britain

-growing textile industry increased Britain’s desire to acquire new colonies and new sources of raw materials

-used two types of cotton, cotton with long fibres, and cotton with long fibres, mills favoured cotton with long fibres which was grown in Southern United States

-British demand, caused many people in Southern United States became cotton farmers, greatly increased slave trade

-colonies in India were used to supply cotton as well as dyes such as indigo

-sisal grown traditionally in places such as Mexico, Florida, and the Caribbean, in contrast to hemp, sisal is smoother and easier to work with. sisal twine commonly used by British farmers


Technology and work:

-New technology could speed up the steps of making products from raw materials and reduce work hours, inventions dramatically increased profits in the textile industry

-in the early 18th century Most textile production centred on small workshops or in the homes of spinners, weavers and dyers: a literal ‘cottage industry’ that involved thousands of individual manufacturers

-New techniques and technologies in agriculture paved the wave for change

-first employed the factory system

Technology:

Flying Shuttle: enabled weavers to weave faster  (John Kay)

Spinning Jenny: First machine to improve spinning wheel (James Hargreaves)

Water Frame: first powered textile machine (Richard Arkwright)

Spinning Mule: greater control over weaving process (Crompton)

Cotton Gin:  automated the separation of cottonseed (Eli Whitney)

Jacquard Loom: weaved complex designs, automatically controlled the warp and weft threads on a silk loom (Joseph Marie Jacquard)

Power Loom: increased weaving speed, allowed textile to be produced faster (Edmund Catwright)

English Revolution Significant Events time line

English Civil War

Causes

         Charles did not rule according to the law

I think that the cause most responsible for the English civil war was that Charles did not rule according to the law. I think the event would have been altered if Charles did rule according to the law. If Charles had ruled according to the law some other causes may not have been present for example, Charles obtaining money without parliaments consent (1625-42) would not have happened because that was one of the ways that Charles broke the law, Parliament may not have been as compelled to pass the grand remonstrance (1641), if that happened Charles would not have invaded the House of Commons (1642) thus changing the outcome, the civil war. If this cause was not present the civil war still may have happened at a later date. I think that the effect this cause had on the event is obvious, one of the immediate causes being the passing of the Grand Remonstrance.

Components

Solemn league and Covenant

The Solemn league and Covent was significant because it could have ended in a different outcome, I think that this can been seen clearly. When Parliament secured the alliance of Presbyterian Scots into accepting the solemn league of covenant after their promise to submit England into Presbyterianism. Not only did Parliament gain aid from Presbyterian Scots, but they also gained power to increase the strength of their army. This could have altered the outcome because at the time Parliament and the Royalists army had an equal amount of strength and when Parliament secured the alliance with the Scots they gained the upper hand in the battle of Naseby because their army was stronger.

Battle of Naseby

The battle of Naseby is a significant component because it represents the climax or turning point, it also may have resulted in a different outcome. When Charles met Cromwell in a sharp battle at Naseby, the king lost a large part of his army making the royalists cause hopeless. This was the climax because it was the event that would determine whether Parliament or the royalists would win the Civil war. The battle of Naseby could have also ended in a different outcome, for example, if Charles did not lose a big portion of his army at the battle of Naseby then he wouldn’t have surrendered himself to the Scots thus changing the outcome.

Charles escapes

Charles escapes is an important component because it shaped the course of the events yet to come. When the Scots handed Charles over to Parliament, the army resisted Parliament proposal to dissolve it by taking Charles, after that the desire to dispose of the king became greater. By taking the king the desire to dispose of him became greater, this could have also added onto the reasons for Charles’s execution, shaping the course of events yet to come. You could also add that Charles refusing the army’s proposal for peace shaped the course of events yet to come.

  Consequence

Charles on trial

The consequence of the Civil war that was most significant was when Charles was on trial. When Charles was on trial (1649) he entered the Court in a calm manner and stayed calm through the whole trial with a king like attitude which had an impact on the way people looked at him and made people rethink whether or not to execute Charles or not. If Charles didn’t have the trial and wasn’t accused of treason people wouldn’t have to think on whether or not to execute the king, and he would not have been executed. The immediate effect his Trial had was huge, Charles execution had a strong effect on England and lead to the abolishment of the House of Lords and the Monarchy making England a republic. This was by far was the consequence of the Civil war that had the biggest impact and long term effect.

Components/Events

Lord Protector

When the army leaders introduced the instrument of government which appointed Cromwell Lord protector this would later shape the course of events yet to come. Cromwell becoming Lord Protector would later shape the course of events because after Cromwell’s reign was over England found that they didn’t like the way things were run as a republic. The long terms of Cromwell being appointed Lord Protector were that England would run as a republic for years during his reign.

Blue laws

What made the Blue laws important was the effect that it had on England. Although the blue laws were more in favour of the puritans, only a small part of England were puritans. The extent of the impact on England was huge because soon after the blue laws were established they became very unpopular. They were unpopular because they limited the amount of freedom the people of England had the rules were very strict because Cromwell strongly believed in the Puritan religion.

Component/Event

Test act

Parliament passes the test act was significant because of the impact it had on Charles II. The fact that the Test act was passed when Charles was trying to protect the freedom of Catholic religion, and the fact that Charles II was a Catholic made Charles resist the test act even more and made this event more significant tome. The test act was also a power struggle between Charles II and Parliament because Charles was not in favour of the test act. The long term effects of the test act were that no Catholic was allowed to be a Member of Parliament or of any other form of a higher government, this also forced James II to resign from his job as a military director.

Components/Events

James II abdicates the throne

James II abdicates the throne (1688) was significant because of its impact and its immediate effect. The impact of James abdicating the throne also known as the glorious revolution, had a big impact because James II couldn’t get enough support to defend the throne he resigned from the throne and left England, this was referred to as the Glorious Revolution because there was no war and nobody got killed. The immediate effect was that Mary, James II daughter was appointed as the new monarch, this was very significant because this was the first time that Parliament had chosen the monarch.

Mary and William agree to the Bill or Rights

When Mary and William accepted the Bill of Rights what made it significant was its long term effect and the impact that it made. When they accepted the Bill of Rights impact that it made was that Parliament was the supreme and the true government of England because they were the ones that had the most power, The Bill of Rights also had a strong impact because they limited the amount of power the monarch had and indicated the rights of Parliament. The long term effect that is still in place today is that the monarch has almost no power and rules alongside Parliament without any conflict.

V for Vendetta

I believe that V represents more of a freedom fighter rather than a terrorist, although some of V’s actions are based off of revenge and are questionable. One of the reasons I see V as a freedom fighter is because he wants to show people a sign of freedom, to show them that they shouldn’t be afraid of their government and ruled by their fear of the government. If the government was brought down by V then the public would be free from the government treating them poorly and free from their constant fear of them. When V blew up the buildings he wasn’t anybody inside which he could have easily done, It was also stated that V destroys the buildings to show a sign of hope and justice to the public. When Creedy and the Chancellor were killed by V he killed them because of the things they did and because they didn’t treat the public fairly, they treated a large amount of the public like lab rat’s, bringing them to the concentration camps and doing test’s on them. Near the end of the movie when Evey asked V why he did what he did throughout the movie he responded with “violence can be used for good”, V’s actions were used for the good of the public, because he wanted people to be treated fairly, that quote was one thing that convinced me to think of V as a freedom fighter.
