| ARTICLES RELATED TO Industrial Revolution | | | |  Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Glasgow - Founding of the cityThe area around Glasgow has hosted communities for millenia, with the River Clyde providing a natural location for fishing. The Romans later built outposts in the area and, to keep Roman Britannia separate from the Celtic and Pictish Caledonia, constructed the Antonine Wall, remains of which can still be seen in Glasgow today.
Glasgow itself was founded by the Christian missionary Saint Mungo in the 6th century. He established a church on the Molendinar Burn, where the present Glasgow Cathedral stands, an ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Lewis Mumford - Ideas Mumford's choice of the word "technics" throughout his work was deliberate. For Mumford, technology is one part of technics. Technics refers to the interplay of a social milieu and technological innovation - the "wishes, habits, ideas, goals" as well as "industrial processes." As Mumford writes at the beginning of Technics and Civilization, "other civilizations reached a high degree of technical proficiency without, apparently, being profoundly influenced by the methods and aims of technics."

| | | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Manchester - Growth of the textile trade By the sixteenth century, the wool trade had made Manchester a flourishing market town. The parish church, now the cathedral, was completed in 1500-1510. The town's growth was given further impetus in 1620 with the start of fustian weaving.
However, the start of the English Civil War in 1642 heralded Manchester's entry into the world of politics and the town's staunch defence of the Parliamentarian faction, led by John Rosworm, was to have repercussions in centuries to come. The town was besieged by Royalist ...

The Gilded Age saw the rise of yellow journalism, in which sensationalism—reporting of fires, gory accidents, crimes, and sentimental stories—took at least as prominent a role as politics.
The Gilded Age also saw the rise of cinema and recorded music.

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Gilded Age - The American West The Gilded Age was rooted in heavy American industrialization, the construction of railroads and the expansion of the American West. The contemporary mythos of the American West centers on the independent exploration of adjacent territory by frontiersmen, but in fact the exploration also involved a government-backed plan of expansion. This perception of individualism was the result of (or was expressed in) the political theories of Frederick Jackson Turner, who theorized that the strong development of democracy in the U ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Gilded Age - The Chinese Exclusion As white settlement brought industrial opportunity to the West, a growing number of Chinese immigrants began to pour into California via the Pacific Ocean. By the turn of the century, there were about 300,000 Chinese immigrants in the West. Most of the Chinese obtained low-paying jobs working for the Union Pacific & Central Pacific Railroad companies (the two railroads that would join at Promontory, Utah to form the First Transcontinental Railroad). A large number of Chinese immigrants returned to their countries (a greater proportion th ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Canal - Cities on water Canals are so deeply identified with Venice that many canal cities have been nicknamed "the Venice of..." The city is built on marshy islands, with wooden piles supporting the buildings, so that here it is not so much the waterways which are man-made, as the land. The islands have a long history of settlement, and by the 12th century Venice was a powerful city state.
Amsterdam was built in a similar way, with buildings on wooden piles. The pace of draining of fenland and polder in the Low Countries quickened in the 14th century and canalization made the village of Amster ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Merthyr Tydfil - The decline of coal and iron The steel and coal industries began to decline after World War One, and by the 1930’s, they had all closed. In 1987, the iron foundry, all that remained of the former Dowlais ironworks, closed, marking the end of 228 years continuous production on one site.
The fortunes of Merthyr revived during World War Two, as war-related industry was established in the area. Many refugees from Europe settled in the town.

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Manchester - Greater Manchester Before 1974 the area of Greater Manchester was split between Cheshire and Lancashire with numerous parts being independent county boroughs. The area was informally known as "SELNEC", for "South East Lancashire North East Cheshire". Also small parts of the West Riding of Yorkshire (around Saddleworth) and Derbyshire were covered.
SELNEC had been proposed by the Redcliffe-Maud Report of 1969 as a "metropolitan area". This had roughly the same northern boundary as today's Greater Manchester, but covered much more territory in north-east Cheshire – including Maccles ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Pennsylvania - Decline of Manufacturing and Mining: 1950-75
During the 20th century Pennsylvania's existing iron industries expanded into a major center of steel production. Shipbuilding and numerous other forms of manufacturing flourished in the eastern part of the state, and coal mining was also extremely important in many regions. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Pennsylvania received very large numbers of immigrants from Europe seeking work; dramatic, sometimes violent confrontations took place between organized labor and the state's industrial concerns.
Pennsylvania was hard-hit by the dec ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Gilded Age - Politics during the Gilded Age After the Reconstruction, many American politicians began to question the policies supporting direct government intervention in the market. Instead, they proposed, allow the market to govern the American economy. As such, the government policy changed to more of a laissez-faire system. In such a system, the government takes a "hands-off" approach, as the United States did with many businesses during the late 1800s. Laissez-faire literally means "let do, let pass," and many Americans supported it in theory. Supporters of the theory claim that ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Gilded Age - Transportation Revolution Railroads allowed goods to be transported farther into the country. Unlike canals that would freeze over during the cold winter months, railroads could be allowed to run year round. Railroads also made it much easier to go up hills and mountains. Railroads in the long run would increase the economic growth of the country greatly and it still has an affect today.
The railroad very much affected the Gilded Age. By the early twentieth century, American manufacturing production had surpassed the combined total of Great Britain, Germany, a ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Gilded Age - Immigration During the Gilded Age millions of immigrants came to the United States for many reasons: religious persecution and bad economies are just examples. Between 1865 and 1890 about 10 million immigrants entered the United States from countries in northwestern Europe. Between 1890 an 1920 the pattern of immigration shifted and more people were coming from south and eastern Europe, about 16 million from these areas during this time. There were many port cities for immigrants to come through, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and New York. About 70 percent of ...

| | | | | Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Gilded Age - Labor unions Modern labor unions were born when wage labor became prevalent. The unions were started in order to maintain the dignity of American laborers. Strong localized unions appeared after the Civil War in order to help workers through hard times, but became used to voice worker's demands such as shorter workdays and higher wages. The National Labor Union formed in Baltimore in 1866. This was an attempt at a nationwide union. Other attempts at a nationwide union were the Knights of ...

This was a natural extension of the industrialisation of the landscape, and also provided employment for many local people. Both of these towns, although remaining the boundaries of the traditional county, have since become unitary authorities in their own right, and are administrativ ...

Peterborough - Cathedral.
Peterborough Cathedral is one of the most notable mediaeval cathedrals in the United Kingdom. The philosopher Richard Cumberland (1631–1718) became bishop of Peterborough in 1691.
One curious fact about Peterborough is that there is a church (St. John's) just outside the Cathedral in Cathedral Square. Why was a church built right next the cathedral? The reason for this is that at some poi ...
