Changes In Transport 1750-1900 [IMAGE] Road [IMAGE] Canals [IMAGE] Railways This term the class 9M have been studying the subject of transport between 1750 and 1900. Now we have to do a project on transport during that period, in particular looking at roads, canals and railways. In this project I will be finding out four main things: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- · What transport was like before 1750 ? · Why did it need
European history because the changes made are integral in the modern age. The inventions made expanded the global market, a solid infrastructure was built to support a stable economy, as well as shift in individuals socioeconomic status. Without the inventions of the Industrial Revolution, the machines that increased productivity and quicken production would not be present in today’s factories and manufacturing industry would not have the assembly line and mass production we have today. British inventors

mill led to the rapid expansion of British cotton industry by leaps and bounds, and sparked the British cotton manufacturing boom. According to Beckert, the number of factories in England was around nine hundred in 1797, and the output and exports of cotton textile grew annually by 10.8% and 14% respectively between 1780 and 1800 which made the cotton industry become the major pillar of the British economy.

Through many years of trial and improvement, the steamboat would become a commercial success when Fulton navigated through
fuel. This steam machine was a more efficient steam engine which could be used in factories to provide power. Goods were now being created in factories rather than in shops.
