Industrial Revolution

Today we are completing the study on Revolutions.  The Industrial Revolution brought about changes in economics throughout Europe and eventually brought change to the rest of the world.  It began in England with the textile industry.  Along with the many economic benefits there were also negatives to the Industrial Revolution.  One negative was the health of the workers, most of which were women and children.  The following lesson looks at the textile industry and its effects on workers.
