The Major Characteristics Of The Industrial Revolution In England

The reason the industrial revolution started in England was because The country England had great characteristics such as Capital, Land, and Labor.

In England the land was very rich in natural resources based in land. All calculated coal had a total of 4, wool, 5,lead,2, tin,1,and finally iron had a total 5 “hotspots” for labor to begin. In all the total of land resources tied together is equal to 17 sweetspots of natural resources that could be used for the work force. While many say that England is large vast country but actual measurements were taken and studies prove that England is only 70 Miles from the west coast to the east coast, simply put it’s not as large as many people think it is, for the vast open land is simply a myth that

However, that’s another topic for a later time.

Capital is a second major factor that helped spawn the industrial revolution. Many people including me think of Capital as in Washington DC. However, this kind of capital is very different from government and politics. The idea of making money on selling food, at least for farmers was a newer concept that came through in the middle ages and early renaissance. Although the modern day person no longer goes to town and barters and trades for food, we can thank England for it’s Iron sweetspot as they now had the ability to no longer cross the dangerous oceans to make their money currency. Few years earlier the idea of producing currency was to trec by ship to the south american coast where a mountain

Many people were treated poorly the more poor and desperate they were. Kids were especially treated more, in some cases kids would ask for seconds during lunch which was usually made by the owner of the factory or mill. When these kids asked for breaks or seconds they were given a harsh and even life-threatening punishment for asking. It wasn’t until 1803 when the child labor laws were put into place. This prevented kids from the dangerous work at the factories and also allowed kids the absolute requirement to go to school. However, this is only in the united States at that time frame of history. As a note to the reader the child labor laws weren’t even enforced till the late 1800’s and early 1900’s but even then it was a very controversial subject and remains that way today. A great example is that
