Introduction

During the 1800's machines began to rapidly replace manual labor.  Goods were being manufactured in factories and workers were steadily losing their jobs.  This period in our history is known as the Industrial Revolution and is the focus of Chapter 9.  The development, spread and effect of this movement are also shown through out the chapter.
Objective: Through this blog I hope to learn more about the Industrial Revolution and it's effects on the time period.  Also, I hope to find it's connections with our modern society.
