What to Focus On

  • The Industrial Revolution changed society from agricultural to industrial.
  • Britain led the Industrial Revolution because of coal, iron, transport, political stability, and trade advantages.
  • Enclosure Acts increased farm output but pushed many workers into cities.
  • Flying Shuttle was invented by John Kay in 1733.
  • Spinning Jenny was invented by James Hargreaves.
  • Spinning Mule was invented by Samuel Crompton in 1779.
  • Thomas Newcomen built an engine for pumping water from coal mines in 1705.
  • James Watt improved the efficiency of Newcomen’s engine fourfold in 1764.
  • John Wilkinson’s drilling machine helped bore the cylinder for Watt’s engine.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Industrial Revolution was mainly about the discovery of steam engines and nothing else.

James Watt built the first steam engine, so Thomas Newcomen is not important.

The Spinning Jenny and the Spinning Mule are the same machine, or both were invented by Samuel Crompton.
