	Steam power during the Industrial Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the Industrial Revolution, steam power displaced water power and muscle power (which often came from horses) as the primary source of power in use in industry.
		Steam power was not only used in engines but also in furnaces and other factory appliances that were difficult to implement prior to the invention of steam power.
		Steam engines are another example of how some changes brought by industrialization led to even more changes in other areas.

		The patenting of the Watt steam engine in 1769 is seen as a pivotal moment, but numerous technological advances in a number of fields (starting as early as the last years of the 17th century) had been slowly pushing the industrial capability of Great Britain forward.
		The causes of the Industrial Revolution were complex and remain a topic for debate, with some historians seeing the Revolution as an outgrowth of social and institutional changes wrought by the final end of feudalism in Great Britain following the English Civil War in the 17th century.
		This "second" Industrial Revolution gradually grew to include the chemical industries, petroleum refining and distribution, electrical industries, and, in the twentieth century, the automotive industries, and was marked by a transition of technological leadership from Great Britain to the United States and Germany.

	Industrial Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Industrial Revolution was the major technological, socioeconomic and cultural change in the late 18th and early 19th century resulting from the replacement of an economy based on manual labor to one dominated by industry and machine manufacture.
		It began in England with the introduction of steam power (fueled primarily by coal) and powered machinery (mainly in textile manufacturing).
		The term industrial revolution was introduced by Friedrich Engels and Louis-Auguste Blanqui in the second half of the 19th century.

		The dating of the Industrial Revolution is not exact, but T.S. Ashton held it covers roughly 1760-1830, in effect the reigns of George III, The Regency, and part of William IV.
		There was no cut-off point for it merged into the Second Industrial Revolution from about 1850, when technological and economic progress gained momentum with the development of steam-powered ships, and railways, and later in the nineteenth century the growth of the internal combustion engine and the development of electrical power generation.

	Timeline of steam power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steam power developed slowly over a period of several hundred years, progressing through expensive and fairly limited devices in the early 1600s, to useful pumps for mining in 1700, and then to Watt's improved designs in the late 1700s.
		It is these later designs, introduced just when the need for practical power was growing due to the Industrial Revolution, that truly made steam power commonplace.
		1629: Giovanni Branea suggests using steam to blow a windmill-like device for power, intending it to be used as a power source for mills.

		During the Industrial Revolution the use of servants seems to have fallen in the South and East.
		During the eighteenth century there were many opportunities for women to be productively employed in farm work on their own account, whether they were wives of farmers on large holdings, or wives of landless laborers.
		However, the power of the guilds and the importance of apprenticeship were also declining during this time, so the decline in female apprenticeships may not have been an important barrier to employment.

		The Enclosure movement and the British Agricultural Revolution made food production more efficient and less labor-intensive, forcing the surplus population who could no longer find employment in agriculture into the cities to seek work in the newly developed factories.
		Universal white male suffrage was adopted in the United States, resulting in the election of the popular General Andrew Jackson in 1828 and the creation of political parties organized for mass participation in elections.
		Another theory believes that Great Britain was able to succeed in the Industrial Revolution due to its dense population for its small geographical size, and the availability of natural resources like copper, tin and coal, giving excellent conditions for the development and expansion of industry.

		The Industrial Revolution may be defined as the application of power-driven machinery to manufacturing.
		By 1700 in England, and by 1750 in France, the tendency of the state and the guilds to resist industrialization was weakening.
		First, industrialization called for the concentration of a work force; and indeed, the factories themselves were often located where coal or some other essential material was available, as the Ruhr in Germany and Lille in northern France.

	The Penetration of Industry by Steam Power
		The power to drive the bellows for the increased blast was obviously best obtained from coal-driven steam-engines, and the success of John Wilkinson along such lines was a valuable advertisement and recommendation for the use of the steam-engine in iron-works.
		This was the end of many industries, which could easily have used increased power, but were unable to obtain it, owing to their situation away from the coal-fields.
		The woollen and cutlery industries of Essex ; the woollen industry of Gloucestershire and Norfolk the iron industry of the Weald and Hampshire at this date [1773-1800] are all declining.

		The steam engine was one of the most significant and important inventions that were developed at the time.
		The advancement of the steam engine meant that a factory could be located anywhere, as opposed to waterpower that was used before in which a factory had to be located by water (Pursell, 1995).
		The steam engine did make a large impact on farming, but the first engines that were produced were stationary engines, which did not provide adequate power for American farmers, who needed something more flexible.

		A turnpike was a highway which was controlled by a turnpike trust and was maintained by tolls exacted from those who used the roads – see the entry on Steanor Bottom for typical charges.
		With the appearance of steam power during the Industrial Revolution, there came an increased demand for coal and for stone to build the new mills.
		In turn, this led to a need for a better system of roads to transport the materials.
